Class sizes are limited to 25 students each and enrollment is on a first come, first serve basis. It is anticipated that these classes will fill up rapidly.
Mastering the Monologue Audition – $40
Most theatrical auditions call for a monologue under three minutes! This class is to help the actor not only master the monologue, but prepare the audition as a whole. Students who take this class should prepare (memorize) a 2-3 minute monologue before the class date.
16 bars! Musical Auditioning 101 – $50
Most musical theatre auditions call for 16 bars of music and a short monologue. This class is to help the actor not only master their audition music, but prepare the audition as a whole. Students who take this class should come with sheet music (in the correct key) and a prepared (memorized) one minute monologue from a musical. Students will learn how to select the bars of music from their selected song, how to approach the accompanist, and how to slate, creating a stellar musical theatre audition. Pianist provided.
