Unlock your potential in the world of musical theater with our Musical Theater Audition Prep class, designed for aspiring performers aged 13-15. In this interactive and dynamic course, students will gain the skills and confidence needed to shine in any audition room. Teaching Style & Interaction: This class is highly interactive, encouraging students to engage with the material and each other. My teaching style is supportive and hands-on, with a focus on individual growth. Students will participate in group exercises, solo performances, and peer feedback sessions. I believe in creating a safe and encouraging space where students can take risks and explore their artistry. Experience & Pacing: No prior audition experience is required, but a basic understanding of vocal performance and a passion for musical theater are recommended. The class is paced to balance technique development with creative exploration, ensuring each student progresses at their own speed while benefiting from group dynamics. Join us to refine your audition skills, gain confidence, and take the next step in your musical theater journey!
