Tiffan Borelli is a New York City-based actor and singer.

Born Tiffany Dawn Borelli in Oklahoma City, she grew up on her family's wheat fields, where she cultivated a passion for acting. One night, after stopping the show as 'The Yankee Doodle Girl' in a middle school concert, she was advised by her choir teacher to begin to study voice. She diligently began her journey with emphasis on young classical literature.

When Tiffan was 16, the renowned Florence Birdwell discovered her in Groucho: A Life in Review at The Jewel Box Theatre and promptly began teaching her. Tiffan continued her studies with Birdwell shortly thereafter at Oklahoma City University, earning a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Musical Theater.

Before Tiffan was set to leave Oklahoma, Birdwell suggested she make an alteration to her first name. "If you go to New York with blonde hair and the name Tiffany, they will expect you to dance!" Birdwell warned. The mentor advised the girl under her tutelage to drop the last letter of her first name to form 'Tiffan.'

Since, Tiffan has performed leading roles with Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma, Maine State Musical Theatre, Galveston Island Musicals, The River Valley Repertory Theatre and toured Asia as 'Baroness Elsa Schraeder' in The Sound of Music.

As a classical singer she has soloed in New York venues such as Lincoln Center, Joe's Pub, American Airlines Theatre, and performed concerts with The Ocean City Pops Chorale, Oklahoma Philharmonic, and The Staten Island Philharmonic. She especially enjoys singing classical musical theater and new works. She has developed close relationships working with composers Jay Alan Zimmerman and Joel B New.

She currently resides on Manhattan's Upper West Side and continues to be mentored by Florence Birdwell, Craig Carnelia and Lee Brock in the musical theater, theater, concert, and film industry.

Outside of her art, Tiffan flirts with poetry, picnicking, and mother nature.
