Tony Award Winner KAREN OLIVO will work with each student on audition technique and song interpretation in this special online master class. We will focus on giving actors the opportunity to bring their audition and performance skills to the next level and how to better connect to their audition material. Students will also take part in a Q&A with Ms. Olivo and the Broadway Workshop team.

Each student should prepare one musical theatre song of their choice for this workshop and have an accompaniment track in the correct key. This is an online workshop through Zoom.

Students should be prepared for honest feedback and be ready to work in depth on their song selections. 

Class is limited to 8 students.
