Auditions don’t have to be nerve-wracking. Learn to get excited about auditions by honing your preparation skills and learning how to go into auditions feeling confident. We will learn how to be smart about choosing audition material (which also includes some lessons in the history and progression of musical theatre). We will tackle how to calm our nerves, create a warm-up, and work with an accompanist, as well as how to approach cold readings and a dance call. What should you wear? What about a video submission? Auditions are the most fun homework ever! Ms. Genoa has been on both sides of the audition table for many years, from the Bay Area to New York, and has learned that, from audition notice to landing a role, auditioning is an art that actors can learn to love!
