This is a 3-hour masterclass to explore how you can develop your acting through song skills. It is so easy for us to focus solely on technique when performing but it is hugely important to marry the acting with the vocal work. Whether you are a musical theatre performer, jazz singer, pop artist or classical musician, the performance of the song can always be elevated with a deeper understanding of what you are singing.
This session could be to help you prepare for auditions, performances or even just to see what your potential is for giving the best performance possible.
The workshop is for adults of all levels. We will start with a warmup and then each person will come up to perform their song and be mentored individually.
