Backstage With Becca B. Ep. 168 with Kendyl Sayuri Yokoyama

  • Summary

  • On this episode I talked with Kendyl about her evolution from aspiring ballerina to a multifaceted performer, her passion for musical theater and the influence of her mentors, when she discovered her love for acting through a local production of Aladdin Jr, which allowed her to combine her skills in dance, singing, and acting, her training in diverse dance styles and vocal genres, as well as experiences with traditional Japanese dance and aerial silks, Kendyl's time at the Boston Conservatory which was marked by challenges, including balancing auditions with attendance policies, ultimately deciding to leave to pursue the opportunity to go on tour with Hamilton, her progression on the Hamilton tour from a dance swing, to a standby for all three Schuyler sisters, to her current lead role as Eliza, the importance of self-advocacy, the emotional complexities of performing, particularly in vulnerable roles, advice she would give to up and coming performers, and much more!
