Make your audition song grab their attention, and hold it! Powerful interpretation is the backbone of your audition, so why do so many auditions suffer from a lack of connecting to that backbone? The answer is because that connection doesn't start where you think it might. Work with CSU's head of Musical Theatre, and 30 year veteran of New York and Broadway, Noah Racey, to zero in on where and how your characters can ignite an audition room. This will be a master class atmosphere, I will work with artists on a first come - first served basis, so sign up early!
