Charles Gilbert is an educator and author who has been training young performers and creating provocative original work for the musical stage for forty years. He started the Musical Theater Program at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and headed it for nearly 20 years.
He's the author of the book, The SAVI Singing Actor, and the creator of SAVI Cards, a unique training tool for singing actors and teachers. He's a founding member and Past President of the Musical Theatre Educators Alliance, and has taught workshops and master classes in America, the UK, Europe and Australia.
Charles is a professional director and music director whose original works for the musical stage include Assassins, source of the idea for the Tony Award-winning musical of the same name.
In this episode, I talk to Charles about his method for teaching how to be a singing actor. He calls it being a SAVI singer – S-A-V-I, and he’ll tell us what each of those letters stands for.
What’s so neat about his approach is that he has taken this overwhelming idea of storytelling through song and created very specific, bite-sized exercises that help you work on individual elements of technique.
Press play, and let’s dive in!
