Monologue & Speech Coaching
For students who need to prepare a monologue for an upcoming audition,
monologue coaching can be part of our session. For students participating in speech competitions in school, I can offer coaching in this area as well.
Building Your Audition Book
An “audition book” is a binder you take to auditions that is filled with a variety of prepared, ready-to-go snippets of songs (in sheet music form) that you know and can totally slay. For singers geared towards musical theatre, audition books are a necessity. I will help you build your audition book by finding, gathering, and teaching music, offering audition cut ideas, and teach you how to mark and cut your music appropriately so the piano accompanist at the audition will love you!
