This five-day online intensive allows students who have a strong interest in musical theatre performance to work in small groups with the highest level of Broadway stars and casting directors.
Broadway Workshop Vocal Intensive Online will engage students to dig deeper into their connection to their vocal audition pieces and build on their acting and dance skills in a small online group workshop setting. This program will allow students to work all three area’s of the triple threat experience with a focus on vocal musical theater performance.
Our Vocal Intensive Online teaching artists are: Erika Henningsen (Mean Girls, Les Miserables), Jason Gotay (Bring it On, Spiderman), Vasthy Mompoint (Prom, Spongebob, Mary Poppins), Cheech Manohar (Mean Girls), Joy Suprano (Law and Order, The Blacklist), Eva Noblezada (Hadestown, Miss Saigon), Leslie Kritzer (Beetlejuice, Legally Blonde), Iona Alfonso (Wicked, 9 to 5), George Salazar (Be More Chill, Godspell), Krystina Alabado (Mean Girls, Spring Awakening, American Psyhco), Nick Rashad Burroughs (Tina, Kinky Boots), Jess LeProtto (Newsies, Carousel, Hello Dolly), Jessica Vosk (Wicked, Finding Neverland), Yurel Echezarreta (Moulin Rouge, Head Over Heels), and Taylor Louderman (Mean Girls, Kinky Boots).
**All teaching artists are subject to change, and more faculty will be announced soon.
Students will start with a group morning meeting and then head off to their smaller group workshops, where they will receive one-on-one coaching and a more personalized setting. In their first class period, students will meet with their main Broadway teaching artist and work on song interpretation, audition technique, and how to connect to a song.
Students will work with their main Broadway teaching artist Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, and then on Thursday of the program week, each group will work with a Broadway special guest teacher (TBA). On Friday, the students will get to perform their songs for an industry professional (casting director or agent) to get different feedback. Each day builds on the previous day. Our small class groups allow for students to get comfortable with the other students and teachers and allow them to embrace what is special about them and apply it to their song work.
Students will have a 45-minute lunch break following their morning master class, as well as multiple smaller breaks throughout the day.
Students will return to their smaller groups to take part in a rotating set of acting workshops, including scene-work, improv, and commercial acting. These classes will be led by various Broadway and film/television actors.
In the final part of the day, students will come together for an exciting virtual dance workshop featuring different Broadway guest teachers directly from Broadway’s best dance shows!
