Get Reel: Building Your Musical Theatre Book

with Bern Tan

In this 6-week, 3-session intensive, you will put heads together with instructor, Bern Tan, to:

  • Build your musical theatre book, picking material that speaks to you and to casting directors for the upcoming season
  • Create cuts specific for you and that leverage your strengths
  • Adjust your singing and acting choices to make each cut stronger
  • Gather feedback and technical advice on self-taping during these pandemic times

It’s 2022, and we’re still needing to submit initial self-tapes of our singing for Musical Theatre auditions across the country. Actors will receive one-on-one coaching at each session, as well as review strategies with Bern to build a book that will serve them well for this season’s auditions. Special attention will also be given to the technical elements of self-taping your initial submissions.

Small class – space is limited, so that each attendee can be individually coached at each session. Attendees will sing each week on Zoom, alongside an accompaniment track of their choice.  More details on maximizing your Zoom connection for such coaching and on finding good tracks will be provided after registration.

Bern is a New York City-based (AEA) actor and (NATS) voice teacher whose students are on Broadway, National Tours, and in film/TV. For full credentials, see www.berntan.net

March 3 through April 2 (Three classes) on Saturday, from 10am-12pm PST each week.
