Dallas/Fort Worth Area
My passions, both in creative and opera, revolve around people, communication and relationships.
With the advent of emerging social media technologies like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and FriendFeed, I see the avenues of disconnected communication slowly regaining the lost element of *relating* to one another in the process, driving me to a growing deeper knowledge and skill set for the industry. I routinely work in all areas of the Adobe Creative Suite with print, web, audio & video.
I am a results-driven creative currently affiliated with the dallas summer musicals, majestic theatre, The Uptown Church, Booker T. Washington High Advisory Board and others, caring for print, web, creative and consulting needs. I'm equally comfortable in front of an audience teaching / performing, and in front my computer designing.
I'm also a member of The Dallas Opera company working as both a soloist and chorister; and an elected union Governor through 2011 with A.G.M.A.
Operatically, I am in Spinto Tenor fach. Vocationally, I specialize in creative, web & branding as well as consulting in emerging social media technologies.

“…and the Apprentices (here portrayed as drunken Bible salesmen) of James Scott Sikon and Steven Hall would be hard to outdo.”
Scott Cantrell, The Dallas Morning News, on "Wozzeck"
“He is very comfortable on stage, an excellent actor with a strong and attractive tenor voice”
John Copley, Director
"Steven was a tremendous asset to our production, in talent, professionalism and commitment. His dedication and attention to detail proved invaluable, and there was not a moment in rehearsal or performance when he was not willing to step into any situation that needed attention. His beautiful voice was adaptive to solo expression and ensemble blend. I would recommend him unequivocally."
-Candace Evans, Director for "Jane Eyre" with Lyric Stage
