Musical Theatre Workshop

Course details

Have you ever dreamed of being a Broadway or West End star? Would you just like to be able to audition with confidence for the local/community musical? Or do you just want to sing songs from musicals for fun? The Musical Theatre Workshop at Waltons New School of Music is designed for anyone interested in musical theatre singing and is an excellent opportunity to develop your vocal abilities, song/audition repertoire and dramatic skills. The workshop will include:

• Vocal techniques and warm-ups to help you produce a stronger, healthier sound
• Choosing and preparing the right song for your voice type
• Defining your character and ‘character-based’ singing
• Acting techniques and improvisation
• Solo and ensemble singing
• Dramatisation of scenes
• Managing stage fright

The workshop will also include extensive preparation with an accompanist, and (although this is not required) participants can showcase some of the material they have worked on in a final performance, open to the public. Participants are encouraged to invite family and friends along!

Although this workshop is an introduction to musical theatre, it is not intended for voice beginners.Participants in the Musical Theatre Workshop should have some previous experience singing in choirs or musicals or have taken at least a term of private or group singing lessons. Please wear loose clothing and bring along a song from any musical with which you are familiar and that you would like to work on as a ‘solo’ piece.

Sinéad is available to speak by phone with those interested in participating in this workshop. Please let us know by email or phone if you would like her to contact you.
