*MUSICAL THEATRE IN PERSON WORKSHOP*

Do nerves get the better of you in singing auditions?

Are you physically self-conscious when singing in front of a panel? Do you struggle to act through a song when not presented in full show context? What is the most appropriate 16-bar cut to sing?

In this specific singing workshop, Gordon will work through any of these worries, queries and personal obstacles by offering you tailored feedback to any two of your own contrasting song choices. Please select a 16-bar cut (or thereabouts) of both songs, clearly marked on printed, cellotaped sheet music for the pianist and bring a second printed copy for Gordon. It will be entirely your choice to flag your worries either before or after singing. Please come warmed up ready to sing. There will be a Q&A at the end of the session for Gordon to answer any questions, whether they be musical theatre or other industry questions.

Gordon has worked in casting for eleven years across the board in TV, film, theatre and musical theatre. Recent credits as Casting Director include My Fair Lady (London Coliseum); Disney’s Frozen (Theatre Royal, co-casting with James Orange CDG) and a confidential horror feature film in early development.
