Description

Auditioning is about more than landing a role. It's about preparation, confidence, storytelling, and learning to trust yourself as a performer.

In this hands-on musical theatre workshop, students will develop essential audition and performance skills through individual coaching, acting exercises, cold readings, scene study, and collaborative performance opportunities.

Students will explore how to select and prepare audition material, make compelling character choices, act through song, connect with scene partners, and respond to direction. Special attention will be given to building confidence, embracing individuality, and developing the skills to enter an audition room feeling prepared and ready to perform.

Throughout the session, students will work both independently and collaboratively, culminating in a short theatrical showcase for family and friends that celebrates their progress and demonstrates the techniques they've learned.
