  • Meet your instructor and fellow singers, learn new acting techniques, and perform a song for the group. You’ll receive specific feedback on your performance and will gain tools to practice during the week.

  • Return to your song and perform for the group! Learn new ways to strengthen and polish your performance while collaborating with your peers to discover new expressive possibilities.

  • Share your second (and optional third) song with the group: introduce the piece, the circumstances of the musical, and deliver the text as a monologue. Abby will coach each singer on how to best interpret and deliver the words.

  • It’s showtime! Present your songs to the class in your chosen mock setting (audition or performance). Dress for the part and receive final feedback from Abby and the class. After this class, you’ll be ready to perform your songs wherever you go - from voice recitals to auditions to competitions! Celebrate your progress and plan which song you’ll conquer next.
