Musical Theater Acting and Auditioning ( K-5 / 6-8 / 9-12 )

Students are asked to come in with material that they have worked on vocally through another class. We then find an effective audition cut and break down the song as if it were a monologue. The goal of this class is to understand the ACTING components of a song. This class is not intended to critique notes or pitch, it's to find the story of the song in an individual and unique way so that students can stand out in an audition room. We will hold mock musical auditions, and discuss actual musical theater auditions in town so that students can apply what they learn in class to real projects. This class should work in tandem with one of our Musical Theater Vocal classes or private vocal coaches.
