Students will learn everything they need to know about the musical theater audition process. They will gain knowledge of what to expect inside the audition room and will strengthen their skills & gain confidence in their abilities as they participate in a live, mock audition during the workshop. Students will learn to overcome their fears and stage fright while increasing their poise and presence on stage and in any area of their life. Vocal and performance skills will be honed and students will leave the workshop with the tools and a clear understanding of how to present an effective and compelling audition for the musical theater.

Each student will need to use an accompaniment track to perform their song. They may choose to use a "karaoke" track from YouTube if they would like. They will need to use a separate device not the device they are Zooming on. For example, if the student is attending the class on their laptop computer, they will need to use another device, such as their phone or iPad, to play their accompaniment or karaoke track. They will be able to hear it and the microphone on their Zoom device will also pick up the sound for the class to hear.
