The Village Players Present…
A Musical Theater Audition Workshop
Time: Saturday, January 28, 2012, 2:00 – 5:00 PM
Place: Village Players Playhouse
Instructor: Debbie Tedrick
Workshop Focus: This workshop will assist actors in identifying the strengths/weaknesses of their musical audition repertoire in an effort to increase their ability to land roles. Workshop activities will help actors hone their skills and prepare effectively to assure a successful audition whether on the community theatre, college or professional level.
Topics to be covered include: choosing songs; working with an accompanist; creating an impressive audition book; handling audition cuts and implementing them for yourself; understanding musical theater terminology; presenting yourself well to the casting panel; handling stage fright; learning what not to sing (and why), identifying your “type;” learning general professional etiquette; making bold choices that work for you; understanding the differences in community theater and professional auditions, and taking your skills to the next level.
This workshop is sure to be fun, informative and very worthwhile!
Program Details: 3 hour workshop; Cost – $20/VP members; $30/non-members. This workshop is offered exclusively to VP members through December 2011, after which it will open to the community at large. It is open to adults and students ages 16 and above.
