(Vocal warmup?)

This is going to be different from audition technique workshop because all wants are different. We need to start from the source. The focus of the techniques are in working on stage. The participants are working as actors and singers not applicants. The difference is in thought and allowing to explore. Not having to perform. When you find this you can work on the applying part. But you can/ should/ will use these thoughts in an audition process .


Aim of the course

The aim of the course is through different techniques and thoughts working with expressions and acting in music. Where we start is to go through the options in musical theatre expression. We develop throughout the lessons making the students work from a own point of view, finding their way with the teacher guiding them. The teachers aim is to work with the students into a method that will work from them. Also exploring insecurities and strengths to make the artist more well rounded. The exorcises are also made to focus on the individual students. Not all techniques works for all students. The class room is safe environment where the students can develop and find their voice connecting the body and mind not just focusing on one part. In the end we ask what is my expression as a musical theatre artist? Where am I today and where do I want to go?
