This program offers detailed and progressive instruction in "telling your story in song" and developing a solo cabaret act, beginning with the selection of song material best-suited to your voice and stage persona. Next, the songs are perfected vocally, stylistically, and dramatically through intensive coaching and master class analysis. Students will receive instruction in creating connecting monologue ("patter") drawn from personal experience. Finally, students will study the production and marketing of a solo cabaret show.
