MSVMA invites high school students to participate in its Musical Theatre Audition Workshop.  Participants must be in 11th or 12th grade and must be members in good standing of their school’s vocal music program as verified by the director of record under the MSVMA school membership.

This is a multi-faceted opportunity for MSVMA students, families, and directors.  A full agenda is in the works, but participants can expect the following:

• Presentations on audition expectations and experiences
• To be taught a dance combo that they will then receive feedback on from our clinicians
• A monologue audition with feedback
• A voice audition with feedback
• Presentations to help understand the workload, scheduling process, and requirements of the college audition process. These presentations will be for parents, directors, AND students. 
• Networking and camaraderie
• A low-pressure environment where students can work together to grow and learn to comfortable approach the audition process.

Clinicians

Dance:  Wendy Kwiatkowski, Livonia CAPA

Acting:  Beth Guest, Oakland University

What to Prepare

Students will be going through a mock college audition process and will receive feedback from clinicians on acting, singing, and dancing to better prepare them for the college audition process. 

Students will need to prepare the following:

• TWO 32-Bar (60 Second) contrasting cuts
• One 1-Minute Monologue from a full-length play or musical
• Students should have these materials memorized.
• Bring a 3-ring binder with both of your full songs and the audition cuts you're performing from them (clearly marked) with you to the workshop.
