Are you facing an audition when you return to school this fall?  Would you like to wow the director of the musical and land the role you were born to fill?  This workshop will prepare you to put your best foot forward at your audition.  Amanda Jenkins (along with some special guests) will lead this workshop and share her extensive experience with the audition process. Selection of repertoire, resume preparation and song presentation are some of the topics that will be covered.  The workshop will culminate in a “mock audition” where participants will audition for a three-person panel and receive individual feedback. Tuition includes a 30 minute private lesson with Ms. Jenkins to select appropriate repertoire.
