Acting the Song for Adults

Acting The Song for Adults is a Musical Theatre Repertoire Course designed to help the singer/actor develop character and clear acting choices with a song. Our focus will be on developing a greater connection to the music & lyrics as a means to an authentic & original performance. The class is designed to be a collaborative artistic community, because we believe the artistic dialogue amongst your peers & honing of observation and critique skills are as essential to the mastery of stage craft as getting on your feet and performing.

Acting the Song Schedule Breakdown:

• 5 Sessions of audition prep/performance workshops
• 1 Cabaret performance

Every adult student will have a total of 5 working sessions in which to receive coaching from the instructors & TAs.  Adult class will begin at 6:30pm, where each performer will have 20 minutes to present & coach their work.  As each singer/actor presents their work, students will have the opportunity to offer their up observations and ideas during feedback facilitated by the instructors.   

Upon ending the 5 sessions, student & adult performers will be invited to appear in a cabaret event, featuring one or two of the songs they’ve worked on in class.

Application / Audition:
Acceptance Priority in the order we receive applications.

Adult Actors will be accepted into the course by completing an online registration/application and providing a video sample of their work as their “audition”. If you have existing YouTube video or other video file of yourself in solo performance or as an audition, simply send the link in an email along with your completed application as an attachment. If you do not have existing video of yourself in performance, you may use a cell phone or camera to film yourself singing a 60 second cut of a song of your choice.
