Hannah Bland
Hi! I’m Hannah, a Denver-based actor and acting coach with a passion for storytelling, connection, and helping young performers grow in confidence.
I’ve been acting for six years and have spent the past five years training and working alongside Kasha at GMP Acting. That experience has shaped not only my approach as an actor, but also the way I work with students. I believe young performers learn best in an environment that is encouraging, focused, and creatively challenging.
I also had the opportunity to work for Disney in their Entertainment division, where I developed a strong love for improv, character work, and connecting authentically with an audience. Since then, I’ve continued building my professional acting career through commercial and film work.
As a coach, I enjoy helping kids and teens strengthen their confidence, make specific acting choices, trust their instincts, and bring more of themselves to every performance. My goal is to give students a strong foundation while keeping the creative process exciting and fun.
Outside of acting and teaching, I love traveling, discovering new stories, and just about anything Disney-related.
I’m proud to be part of the GMP Acting team and excited to help young actors develop their craft, discover what makes them unique, and grow into confident, prepared performers.
Alex Bland
Hi! I’m Alex Bland, an actor and acting coach at GMP Acting with a lifelong love for storytelling and performance.
I began acting as a child after becoming fascinated with the worlds I saw on screen. Growing up watching Saturday Night Live, Star Wars, and other films with my dad sparked a love for performing that first led me to theater and later to Film and Television.
For the past five years, I’ve worked alongside Kasha teaching and mentoring young performers at GMP Acting. Working with kids and teens has become one of the most rewarding parts of my journey.
I have a particularly strong eye for detail and enjoy helping students discover the small, specific choices that can transform a performance. Whether we are working on a scene, commercial, character, or audition, I focus on helping young actors become more natural, connected, confident, and comfortable on camera.
I also believe that young performers need a space where they feel safe enough to take risks, make mistakes, and explore. My goal is to challenge students while also making sure they feel supported and excited about their growth.
Outside of acting and coaching, I’m an avid animal lover and work as a supervisor at a doggy daycare, where I also support rescue and foster efforts. I’m especially devoted to my German Shepherd, Smokes.
I’m proud to be part of the GMP Acting team and love helping young performers strengthen their technique, trust their instincts, and recognize just how much they are capable of.
