Adina Kelly Paciello is an NYC based actress, singer, dancer, voice over artist, and educator known for her versatility, fast brain, and calm reliability in the room. A highly adaptable performer, Adina thrives in complex, fast-moving environments and is especially drawn to the collaborative challenge of swing and understudy work, where preparation, flexibility, and a good sense of humor go a long way.

 

From grandma to ingenue, heightened comedy to grounded realism, Adina moves comfortably between diverse styles and tracks, bringing specificity, consistency, and character clarity to every role she steps into. She is a quick study with a sharp musical ear, strong instincts, and a deep respect for the responsibility required to keep a show running smoothly (even when things get a little wild backstage).

 

Creative teams value Adina for being prepared, flexible, and steady under pressure.. someone they can trust to jump in with confidence, clarity, and a collaborative spirit. She prides herself on being the kind of performer who shows up ready, stays curious, and keeps the room focused while still enjoying the work.

 

As a teaching artist, Adina is passionate about process, curiosity, and personal discovery. She helps students develop their own unique strengths while building solid technical foundations, and she is proud to be part of the musical theatre, dance, and voice faculty at Starlight Performing Arts Center in Manahawkin, New Jersey.

 

Adina is also a voice over artist with a growing body of work and a love for vocal transformation, enjoying the freedom of shifting from commercial to cartoon, grounded to delightfully ridiculous.

 

Outside of the theatre, Adina enjoys photography, doing crafts whenever possible, and continuing her ongoing search for the perfect cup of coffee—purely in the name of research.
