Musical Theater Masterclass for South Carolina Schools
Varna International is working with school districts and private schools in the Columbia area to organize special FREE events for Musical Theater students. These will be half-day events with members of our expert voice faculty. The details are still being finalized, but each event will consist of the following activities:
- Vocal Masterclass – each drama/musical theater teacher will select 2-3 of their students to submit a video audition through our website for consideration to sing in a 90-minute masterclass. Our faculty will select 8 lucky students to sing for the Vocal Masterclass.
- Mock Audition – participating students will be given a piece of music to learn before their school’s event day. Every student will have the opportunity to come up on stage, sing a 16-bar section to experience an audition process.
- Group Singing Rehearsal – Our faculty will then work on the same song with the entire group to work on blending, dynamics, etc.
- Q&A – our faculty will spend some time answering questions and talking to the students about our summer opportunities for youth: Rising Stars: Inclusive Musical Theater Program & VIMA Youth Voice Program.
Each teacher should nominate up to 3 students to be considered for singing in the masterclass. Varna International is providing teachers with the nomination document, which will instruct the student to go on our website to fill out a Musical Theater Masterclass Interest Form. Once their form is submitted, we will contact them with instructions for submitting their audition video recording.
