Shane Hartline | Discovering the Community

Shane Hartline has lived with spasmodic dysphonia since early childhood but it did not stop him from pursuing his goals of acting and now producing and directing. He recently finished a short film, Cookie. It tells the story of a young woman, who after losing her voice to a debilitating vocal condition, fights to find it again to pursue her dream of acting. The NSDA interviewed Shane about first being introduced to the NSDA and SD community.
