Purpose: To educate students in presenting a professional musical theatre audition for school productions, local theatre auditions, college auditions and inside the professional theatre world. The workshop will involve music and dance instruction to teach the expected standards of today’s competitive auditions. Each session will include music and dance instruction.

Music: The music portion of the workshop will include choosing appropriate audition music, and preparing professional quality vocal selections for your audition. Students will be coached vocally on selected material as well as guided toward other appropriate music for his or her voice. Students will also be instructed on how to prepare music suitable for an accompanist to play at an audition. Students will receive private coaching with a professional pianist and vocal coach.

Dance: The dance portion of the workshop will include learning practical dance steps that are used in all musical theatre auditions. You will learn how to correctly do a number of dance steps and be able to commit them to memory. We will focus on the technique and execution of numerous dance steps. In the last weeks we will focus on learning and retaining full dance combinations, spending time on performance quality and retaining combinations in a fast paced audition. The final 2 weeks will be a mock audition where each student will be critiqued on their personal audition by a panel of judges and receive feedback from their peers as well as the judges.
