Overview of class

Students will have weekly and sometimes biweekly assignments that involve bringing specific material to class that may be useful for auditions. Students must memorize all material and clearly mark it for the accompanist. Students will also have multiple opportunities to receive feedback on their technique, professional auditioning, and material selection. At various points throughout the quarter, the instructor will recreate professional audition and callback circumstances (to the level achievable in a university setting) by holding mock auditions. Guest instructors may also be invited in to offer fresh perspectives on the student's work.

This class is designed for seniors interested in pursuing a professional career in musical theater performance. It is open to all senior theater majors, not just students in the MT Cert.
