Juliana Giannasca
Director & Teacher
Juliana is a proud alumna of New York University and Purchase College, where she earned her Master’s degree in Educational Theatre and a BALA in Musical Theatre and Arts Management. She also holds New York State teaching certifications in Theatre and Performing Arts.
A Westchester native raised in the Hudson Valley, Juliana discovered her passion for the performing arts at a young age. She honed her craft by singing on a competitive voice team, performing in school musicals and plays, joining chamber choir, and participating in improv troupes. It was during these formative years that she was inspired by her high school theatre teacher—a mentor who ignited her love for education and continues to influence her work today.
In addition to running Voice with Jules, Juliana is the new owner and Director of Musical Munchkins, a beloved early childhood music program serving families throughout Westchester County.
Her mission is rooted in making music education accessible and joyful for students of all ages—from babies as young as six months to adults—helping each individual find their voice through creative expression.
"The arts are a powerful vehicle for personal and academic growth. Through theatre, students cultivate a wide range of skills—creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and emotional intelligence—that extend far beyond the stage and into every facet of their lives. As an educator, I am deeply committed to equipping artists of all ages with the tools they need to evolve into compelling performers, confident learners, and empathetic individuals."
"My teaching approach combines rigorous theatrical training with a strong foundation in educational values. I emphasize not only technique and performance, but also the historical and cultural context of theatre, helping students understand where the art form comes from and why it matters. Whether a student is stepping onto the stage for the first time or refining their craft, they can expect to build a versatile ‘actor’s toolbox’—filled with techniques, knowledge, and a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them." - Juliana
