🧵 As we end this semester, we want to spend some time looking back on some wonderful speakers and masterclasses that our Musical Theatre students got to learn from and be a part of! 🦬❤️🎶 #WT #WTAMU #WTMusicalTheatre #MusicalTheatreMasterclasses #ArtistsgivingbacktoArtists
In order of appearance, we heard from Brianna Borger, a Chicago artist and Assistant Professor of Theatre at Northwestern University! She explained the industry and choices or pivots that can be made throughout an artist’s career! #WTMusicalTheatre #Masterclass #BriannaBorger
Next in our speaker recap, we talked to Julia Schade, Music Director for “Six” on Broadway! She also spoke on the industry, her story, and answered questions about her job, performances, and the balance of life between it all! #WTMusicalTheatre #Masterclass #JuliaSchade #SIX
Then, we were treated to an in-person workshop with Casey Joiner, Lubbock based performer and composer! She worked with student performers to open their sound and solidify character, vocal, and personal growth! #WTMusicalTheatre #Masterclass #CaseyJoiner
In our Speaker Series, we then met Edred Utomi, currently in the role of Alexander Hamilton in “Hamilton” on the Angelica Tour! He let us in on tricks for auditions, his own amazing rise, and emphasized focus on each person’s own strengths! #WTMT #SpeakerSeries #EdredUtomi
Finally, we learned from Kimberley Moller, founder of “Vocal Kinesthetics”! She went through her own techniques to use for anxiety and pre-audition or performance worries! How to use the body in calming nerves and the voice! #WTMusicalTheatre #KimberleyMoller #VocalKinesthetics
