Class Description

Having a good voice is great if you are auditioning for "The Voice" but for musical theater it will only take you so far. Join us as we explore different tools that allow us to turn a song into a story. We will discover how to use not only our voice but our face and our whole body in order to engage our audience the way a movie or play can. Believe it or not, there are some things we do as singers that can distract from truly telling a story. In order to succeed in musical theater, we need to break these habits and learn to become actors who sing!
