While important, it’s easy to forget there’s a character behind that sound. In this class, we aim to focus on more text driven musical theater pieces to help transform the musician into the actor as well - giving you the extra tools in your tool box to make yourself a triple threat, while also being able to enhance your singing technique. Students will receive instruction on how to develop a musical theater moment from a text perspective, navigate its acting beats, and connect it with their music foundations.

On top of building and preparing a repertoire of audition pieces (be it monologues, ballads and up-tempo musical selections or TV and film), students will explore the kinds of details that will help get their headshots, resumes and submissions noticed and get them through the door. They’ll also be informed on how to work with agents, managers and casting directors. Registration: $275 |
