Combine in-depth vocal training with acting techniques, in our unique Acting Through Song Courses you will explore material from the world of musical theatre. During the classes you will master the art of acting through song, combining both disciplines to give convincing and moving theatrical performances.
Choose to work on one song or try different ones. Our experienced tutor will help you select the best piece for your voice for the final class showcase. Each week you will work on your songs in front of the group in a masterclass style. This will be a supportive, open and friendly environment to build your confidence performing solos.
You will be encouraged to try new and challenging material for performance, as well as providing plenty of opportunity for individualised feedback and development from your tutor. The final class of the course will culminate in an informal showcase for invited friends and family, giving you the chance to put what you have learned into practice and share your progress.
This singing course is open to everyone and there is no audition required to join. However, in order to get the most out of the classes, some previous acting and singing experience is recommended.
You will receive friendly guidance and feedback from your tutor throughout the course.
