In our Broadway Master Class, students will receive direct coaching and feedback from a Broadway performer on how to use their fears to bring emotion and intensity to any audition. Class starts with a review of technical and performance technique. Every student will then have the chance to perform a song or monologue and receive immediate feedback. Other students gain insight when not performing from watching their peers. Class concludes with a Q&A session about the professional business.
