IN MEGAN'S STUDIO......
Some things I focus on in my studio include toning and conditioning students vocal chords, proper placement of singing, pitch & breathing, methods & techniques of all different kinds of styles, stage presence/performances and confidence, and many others. I specialize in contemporary music....pop, rock, country, jazz, blues & broadway. I do not teach classical music. However, I do know many amazing classical coaches that I could direct you to. My speciality is POWER SINGING. You want to sing with the power of Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood, Bruno Mars, Christina Aguilera, Michael Buble', Aretha Franklin, Elton John....I'm your coach!
Competition & award winning instruction
Megan Killoran is a professional vocalist, producer, and arts leader whose career has been closely intertwined with the Great Alaska Talent Competition since its earliest days. Her journey with the organization began in 2008 when she earned first place in what was then known as the Fur Rondy Singing Competition — a milestone that helped launch her career in performance, education, and arts leadership.
Now in its 14th year as the Great Alaska Talent Competition, the event has grown into Alaska’s largest multi-talent showcase, welcoming performers ages 6 through adult across singing, dance, instrumental music, and variety arts. Megan has served as Executive Director for the past 11 years, guiding the competition’s transition from a single-category singing contest into a statewide, multi-discipline production. Under her leadership, the event has expanded its reach, elevated production standards, and maintained a strong emphasis on professionalism, encouragement, and artistic growth.
Beyond her leadership role, Megan is widely recognized throughout Alaska as a dynamic and versatile vocalist. She has appeared in numerous sold-out theatrical productions, including a four-week run of Jesus Christ Superstar in 2024, and served as Musical Director for the annual Rocky Horror Show at Mad Myrna’s, leading a six-week sold-out production with bold creative vision. She is also a recurring featured performer in Anchorage Cabarets’ annual Women of Rockfundraiser.
Megan is the founder and lead vocalist of the band Nothin’ But Trouble, as well as the duo/trio Nothin’ But Karma, performing at concerts, festivals, private events, and weddings across Alaska and beyond. Her performance credits include opening for national touring artists and appearing at major civic and cultural events statewide.
In addition to her performance career, Megan spent many years as a private vocal and performance coach, mentoring young artists, competition winners, and emerging professionals. Her commitment to artistic development and community impact continues to shape the mission of the Great Alaska Talent Competition — a place where performers are not only evaluated, but encouraged, challenged, and celebrated.
