THE ESSENTIAL ART OF ACTING IN SONG
Pierce will expertly coach you in every aspect of preparing for an audition or performance.
In these sessions, we address the entire process of preparing for an audition or performance, including:
• song choice
• song acting
• audition and performance skills
• audition preparation
PLEASE NOTE: These sessions are not "voice lessons." While Pierce does have a background as a voice teacher and may offer some tips for vocal production, these sessions do not focus on training the singing voice.
An exceptional solo song performance moves both the audience and the singer, and appears as though it is being spontaneously and effortlessly created at the very moment it is happening. However, creating this kind of performance requires dedication, time, exploration, careful planning, and practice. It requires much more than just learning notes and lyrics, producing them pleasantly with the voice, and then taking the stage to sing. Whether in an audition or a performance, while singing ability, vocal quality, and vocal health are important parts of the picture, in today's musical theater, as well as in most other genres of singing, the performance (acting) of the song is as important as – and often more important than – the vocal quality.
If you're serious about being a great singer, training your voice is important, but it's only part of the picture. Whether you're preparing for a specific audition or performance, or just doing the important work of improving your song acting and performance skills, this is the work that will make the difference.
We can also work on building your audition and performance repertoire and creating an effective resume.
