Biografia
Misty Marshall was born on a stage...well, almost! Being the child of two performers, she spent much of her childhood in front of an audience. She was in her first play by the age of four, and quickly developed a love for the theater. She became involved in countless plays, working both onstage and backstage. As a teenager Misty attended New Orleans Center for Creative Arts Theatre Program and continued to perform at various playhouses around New Orleans including Le Petit, CAST, and Southern Repertory Theater. She also spent two years interning at CBS WWL channel 4 as a movie reviewer and celebrity interviewer, attending press junkets in New Orleans and Los Angeles. After graduating, Misty was accepted on scholarship to the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York. She studied drama and music there until landing a job with a touring musical production show. Soon after, her love for entertainment took a different route and Misty began circus training. She picked up skills like trapeze, stilts, contortion, and fire dancing. She went on to develop her fire show and performed for conventions, films, music videos, and television. This work eventually led her to move to Los Angeles. It was there that she trained with Salome Jens Actors Studio. Misty eventually returned to N.O. to study Screenwriting at Tulane Univ and UNO. During this time, she auditioned for American Idol and made it all the way to being a Hollywood Week Semi-Finalist! After leaving the show, she became the FOX 8 WVUE weekly AI reporter. She also performed at live venues with her band, such as Hard Rock Cafe, House of Blues, and Tipitinas. When Hurricane Katrina hit, Misty relocated to New York to continue singing and acting. She worked on several CD and movie projects and was invited to join the Screen Actors Guild. Her latest project landed her as lead in the film "Haunted High," playing on SyFy. Misty is an actress, singer, writer, puppeteer, contortionist, aerialist, emcee, director, and teacher. She loves the craft of acting and performing and continues to devote her life honing those skills.
