Singing for Musicals

Catalog description

Do you love singing in musicals? Do you know how to sing in musicals? This course, taught by two instructors, provides training in vocal technique and acting for students interested in performing musical theater. Students will learn about the physical aspects of singing, including posture, breath support, and vocal exercises. They will integrate vocal technique with phrasing in different styles of Broadway repertoire and apply both to the art of acting the song. Each student will work on solo selections and ensembles, singing in most classes. The course will culminate in a final public workshop performance. Through understanding vocal technique, students will become more confident and joyful performers. Admission to the course is by audition or permission of the instructor. While prior vocal or theatrical study is not required for admission, many students accepted for the course have had some previous training. The instructors will contact all waitlisted students with detailed information about video or live auditions and a questionnaire prior to the first class.
