Today, I’m talking about the power of CREATING CONTEXT for your audition song, and how it trumps all the high notes and vocal gymnastics you could ever sing.
Join me as I talk about “the moment before,” plot conflict, what your character desires, and how your character changes over the course of a show – all in the name of creating a beautiful, three-dimensional character who is on a JOURNEY in your audition song.
My friend, your audition is NOT about the high notes. It’s not even about YOUR VOICE. It’s about telling a STORY. The story comes first, the character’s journey comes first. That is the reason you are on stage in a musical. And if you can do that, then you will move the creative team and have them in the palm of your hand.
If you’re ready to take your audition to the next level with the power of CONTEXT, then press play, and let’s get into it.
Xo,
Korrie
