Students enrolled in this class will learn the techniques and materials to prepare memorable auditions for musicals. We will cover show knowledge, audition songs & monologues, how to dress, conducting yourself in the audition room, and handling director feedback. This is a course I have prepared & taught through Disney's "On-Broadway" audition program. These are techniques, knowledge, and advice I followed when being cast in Beauty and the Beast and the title character in Mary Poppins. No required experience necessary. I do recommend bringing a notebook. This class is suitable for learners ages 8-18.
Learning Goals
Students will learn the skills and practice techniques to be remembered in an audition room and on the musical theatre stage. We will cover everything an actor needs to prepare, how to handle themselves in the audition room, and how to handle director feedback.

My favorite shows are Disney's Mary Poppins (Mary), South Pacific (Nellie), and She Loves Me (Amalia).
As a teacher, I am currently a music teacher at an academy. I have taught and hosted live and virtual classes in music, theatre, auditioning, and public speaking. My goal is to prepare students for their auditions and performances so they are not as nervous and feel confident in themselves.
