Okay, so you can dance, sing and act - but how do you get a job?
 
Auditioning can be a frightening experience unless you know what to
expect. In our newest course, AUDITIONING
FOR MUSICAL THEATRE, one of Canada's most accomplished
Director/Choreographers, Anne Wootten, and Musical
Director Greg Gibson, will help you present your personal best. Do you
know what to do when you're told
to prepare an up-tempo and a ballad, plus a monologue, and be prepared
to dance? Would you prepare the same
songs to audition for HAIRSPRAY as you would for GUYS AND DOLLS? And
what do you wear? This workshop will help you to choose and prepare a
monologue and appropriate songs, choose the right wardrobe, improve your
confidence in a dance auditions and polish your presentation to the
panel. As an added bonus, you'll learn how to build your resume and
choose the proper photograph.
