This course explores utilizing the singing voice to engage in storytelling through song. As students develop an approach to processing the internal life of a character in conjunction with musical information provided in a song, they will learn to fully connect to song performance and interpretation through the mind, body, emotion, and voice. Students will then utilize their song interpretation skills to build scenes with multiple characters. In surveying and performing various American Musical Theatre vocal styles, students will develop a versatile, flexible vocal instrument, an open and curious musical mind, a generous and collaborative spirit when giving and receiving feedback with other artists, and the confidence that comes with repeated performance and growth.
