Kate Flynn – Catherine Young
A recent graduate of the William Esper Studio in New York, Kate has been an admirer of actors ever since she was a child. As sports became an important role in her life, it wasn’t until after graduating college that she was able to delve into the craft fully.
After receiving her BA in Studio Arts with a concentration in photography from the University of Colorado and (unsuccessfully) trying to move to Italy, she finally found what she had been missing–work that was meaningful. She is thrilled to set out on this journey with the cast and crew of Sing After Storms.

Elliot Coy (Oheri) – Police Detective Jason Dennehey
Oheri is an writer/actor pursuing a voice over career in New York City. With a great sense of being on stage and in front of the camera, Oheri knows what it takes to be in front of a microphone as well as. Graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Advertising, Oheri is also familiar with writing copy. This unique attribute has helped him understand which copies require personality types. It also makes Oheri easy to work with and always ready to learn.
Although Oheri’s background suggests a deep root in the world of advertising, his real passion lies in the world of gaming; where he expects to have a hand, or in this case, a voice in several games during the course of his career.
