Janee Trotman
As a shy child, performing brought Janee Trotman out of her shell. Now, this accomplished actor, who hails from New York, has confidently conquered her career.
Janee Trotman found her voice and confidence training as an actress at New York University and at legendary acting studio Herbert Berghof (HB) Studio of New York. After mastering monologue, improvisation and the Meisner acting technique, Janee soon found herself performing in Off-Broadway plays such as “How Ya Livin’” at the Harlem Theatre, Shakespeare’s “King Lear” at Manhattan’s West Side’s Bard at the Bar, and “Holla If You Hear Me” at the Billie Holiday Theatre. Since coming to Los Angeles, Janee has honed her skills in front of the camera learning on scene study, on-camera, and audition techniques. Her voiceover work has been featured on the television shows “That’s So Raven” and “Cory in the House” and she’s appeared in Nickelodeon’s “Not So Valentine’s Special.” When she’s not acting, Janee has a passion for singing and working with children. We are thrilled to work with this exceptional talent who thinks First Entertainment is amazing.
