February 9, 16 & 23, 2014

This workshop is designed to assist the singer with song choice and preparation for upcoming auditions.  If you are new to J*Company or auditions in general or are having a challenging time finding a song or simply don’t know where to look… this is the workshop for you.  If you aren’t sure your song choice is appropriate for the show you’re auditioning for or for your voice in general… this is the workshop for you. If you are looking for some constructive criticism on your audition and how to make it better from professional working artists with a chance to pre-audition before you go in for “the big day”… this is the workshop for you. 

NOTE: This workshop is by no means meant to take place of private voice lessons, but to prepare you for auditions. EVERY performer should have private voice lessons on a continuous basis!

At 3-Weeks out**, professionals will work with you in this nurturing classroom setting to find an appropriate song, learn the melody and leave with a recording for you to use to practice with at home.  You will also receive a Song & Character Worksheet and an audition packet on what to prepare for “the big day.”  NOTE: You MUST bring you own recording device in order to receive the recording of your song!!!
**Parents for newly auditioning young artist are invited to attend the first hour of this first class to get full details on the audition preparation process, how auditions are conducted and what it will be like to be in a J*Company production. 

At 2-Weeks out, this workshop will concentrate on song presentation, audition technique, a more in-depth character development as well as fine-tuning the memorization. You will be expected to be prepared with all the materials outlined in the last workshop as if it were the real audition so further constructive criticism can help you be fully prepared for “the big day.”

At 1-Week out, we make minor changes if need be to vocal style and character work as well as walking-through a mock audition to make yourself completely acquainted with the process and what is expected on “the big day.”
