THEATRE SINGING FOR NON-SINGERS
This six-week introductory course is designed for actors, dancers, and theatre-makers with little to no prior singing experience who want to build confidence and foundational vocal skills for musical theatre. The class emphasizes healthy, sustainable vocal technique, singing as an extension of acting, and grounded, practical tools that support storytelling through song.
Students will learn how to build a breath-body connection, produce sound without strain, improve pitch and tone, and connect emotional intention to vocal performance. Through exercises, solo and group singing, and lyric-driven performance work, participants will develop a stronger relationship to their voice while gaining practical skills they can immediately apply in auditions, rehearsals, and performance settings.
No prior singing experience is required—just curiosity, commitment, and a willingness to explore.
