GSA Audition Masterclasses and Preliminary Round Tapings
Prepare for your upcoming Governor's School for the Arts (GSA) audition by participating in workshops with professional acting and vocal coaches.
Students will be asked to select a focus in drama, vocal music, or musical theatre.
Students in drama will prepare a 60-second monologue from a published play with optional special skill (i.e., performing a dialect, singing, dancing, mime, etc.).
Students in vocal music will prepare a 2-4 minute solo song in one of the following styles: an Art Song, Folk Song, Aria, Hymn, or an appropriate selection from the Musical Theatre repertory.
Students in musical theatre will prepare 2 songs and a 60-second monologue from a scripted contemporary play. Songs will be 21-32 bars in length and contrasting (one a ballad and one up-tempo; one before 1970, one 1970 or later).
Students who also register for a videotaping session will record their audition material with a professional videographer. The video footage will be cut and uploaded to a usable format by our videographer. The recording will be provided to the student in an electronic file that can be submitted to GSA for the preliminary round.
