Have you ever been transported while listening to someone sing a song? There is so much more to a great performance than a pretty voice; there is telling a story. In this class, we will discuss what to look for in a song that lends itself to character work, learn how to understand where the music is leading the character, and how to create a character that will be honest and engaging. Whether in an audition, cabaret, or show setting, these skills will help you grow into a performer that tells a great story through the art of singing.
