Ever noticed that you shake like a leaf when it is time to perform? Do you wish you could perform at "star level"?

"Acting for Singers" is a performance class with an emphasis on storytelling, energy, and movement. In this workshop, we break down the physical attributes and emotional attitudes of a song to enable your body to utilize tools that will improve your performance 10- fold.



In this 5-hour workshop, we work two ways, externally and internally. We also work very deeply. Externally we use many different exercises that send new information to the brain. In doing so, we create more of a connection with the body to the music - because the only way to feel the body when singing is to actually move . The members of the class will suggest new movements for you to mirror when you are singing. This process will heighten your emotional energy.

You will also learn how to "play" the character you are singing about. For example, we might have the other members of the class play different characters in your song to create that third dimension for you, the performer. In other words, it will be like having an imaginary "movie" playing in your head, which will alleviate the pressure of only hearing your singing voice. Then, you will have something else to concentrate on. When you think about it, this is the way we are when we are having a conversation with someone. So, when we add the element of singing, we need to find those same connections we have when we are speaking.
