By The End Of This Course:

Students and parents will:

• Understand the musical theatre audition process, from preparing for an audition to what happens in the audition room and what comes next.

• Become familiar with different types of auditions and what may be expected in each setting.

• Understand how to choose, prepare, and rehearse audition material effectively.

• Learn how singing, acting, character, and stage presence work together in a successful audition.

• Gain practical experience through a mock audition in a supportive environment.

• Identify next steps and development opportunities based on the student’s interests, goals, and areas for continued growth.

Our goal is for students to leave feeling more prepared and confident, while parents leave with a clearer understanding of how to support their student’s continued development in musical theatre.

We can’t guarantee who gets the role but we can help students walk into their next audition better prepared for the opportunity.
