Since most musicals that are produced today fall into the pop rock category, it’s imperative actors have an audition book that includes song cuts from the genre.
It matters not if you are auditioning for your local school or community theatre production, or for professional shows!
Either way, you should be prepared to “rock” your pop rock auditions!
By the end of our time together, students walk away with one 16 bar cut, and one 32 bar cut to add to their repertoire.
We will work on both performance and audition skills in this class!
Improve your audition technique, storytelling through song, musicality and more! Put your best foot forward on stage and in the audition room!
