How It Works:
We’ll work on songs individually and in groups. You’ll get help with character development, vocal technique, and stage presence. Everyone performs regularly in a supportive, encouraging environment.
What to Bring:
Come prepared with a song you’d like to work on (or we’ll help you find one). You’ll need a backing track – YouTube links work perfectly. Don’t worry if you’re not sure about cuts or arrangements – we’ll figure that out together.
What We Expect:
Learn your lyrics so you can focus on acting and connecting, not just remembering words. Come ready to try new things and support your classmates. Respect class time and each other.
Great for:
- Building confidence in performance
