EVDIV 058 - Singing for the Stage Intensive: A Musical Theater, Cabaret, Jazz, and Pop Professional Performers Development Course


Kurt Alakulppi
Are you a professional actor or singer seeking to enhance your vocal performance in musical theater and other non-classical genres? Whether you’re a recent acting graduate navigating the transition to the working world, a seasoned theater actor who struggles with singing in public or at auditions, or an established singer in musical theater, cabaret, jazz, or pop looking to maintain vocal health and flexibility while gigging, this course is designed to help you incorporate reliable singing techniques into your performance and audition settings.

Through a series of “Vocal-eases” exercises, you’ll condition your muscles and vocal mechanism to respond healthfully over time, strengthen the quality of sound, extend your range, and provide a reliable basis for breath management and endurance without strain or struggle. In addition to technical issues, this course will also address mental blocks and performance anxiety, offering repertoire suggestions, anti-anxiety routines, and strategies for communicating the text while singing optimally.

Participants can expect to sing in each class, providing opportunities for peer-to-peer learning in front of a built-in audience. This course is specifically designed for professional actors who need to sing and professional singers who need to act, and requires an online application for admission. Join us to enhance your vocal performance and take your career to the next level!

An online application is required for the student to be considered for admission.
