• Learn how to release the tension that interferes with your voice, breath, body, and emotions, with an emphasis on handling nerves and stage fright.
• Utilize exercises on how to sit, stand, and speak, followed by partner work incorporating breath and text.
• Be on your feet applying what you’ve learned to materials of your choosing, including monologues, audition sides, songs, poems, presentations, or speeches.

• Have the essential physical skills to calm your nerves, improve your posture, and find your voice.
