Marcus Cheong discovered his passion for performing at age 13 when he joined his secondary school’s drama club, with whom he was cast as the lead in their entry to the Singapore Youth Festival competition. Marcus was a part of Pangdemonium’s Triple Threats Programme in 2017, which sparked his interest in musical theatre. He credits his time in the BA(Hons) Musical Theatre programme at LASALLE College of the Arts with helping him to find his voice, enabling him to approach different singing genres with finesse and confidence.
Prior to his journey in LASALLE, Marcus conducted speech and drama workshops for children and worked as a freelance performer. As a child, he had a speech impediment which made him anxious whenever he had to speak in public. It was through his experience in performance training that he was able to overcome his stutter and gain confidence as a person. This breakthrough inspired him to pursue a career in performance and teaching.
Marcus is excited to teach at Singtheatre as believe every child should have access to the same transformative power he experienced as a child from his involvement in performance. He has a passion for working with children and helping them to develop their communication skills while embracing their individuality through the world of musical theatre.
