Master Class Overview
Over the first three weeks, Justin will take students through the process of perfecting their vocal piece and refining their audition monologue. He will also talk about dos and don’ts of the industry, how to present your “best self” and will leave time for thoughtful Q&A. On the final week, he will be joined by casting director, Courtney Hammond, for an exciting mock audition where students get to perform the vocal piece and monologue they’ve been perfecting with Justin!
Students must come prepared with 16-32 bars of a song and their choice of a monologue. Please be prepared to play your own music accompaniment from a separate device during the class. Justin will provide supplemental materials as the class goes on.
