Need help with an important audition? This workshop covers all aspects of preparing and executing an effective and successful audition for musical theatre. Coachings will include discussing the appropriate 32 and/or 16-bar cut for you, understanding your “type”, preparing your music, working with an accompanist, and monologuing the song. We will also discuss “call back” requirements, and helpful hints to land the role!
*Students must bring the current audition cut they are using in the appropriate key.
