Singing ONSTAGE! A Master Class with Tyler Pearsons of NYC
During this two-hour master class, Tyler will help vocal performers develop stage presence, make bold character choices, find the truth of the song, and elevate their performance—as well as how to “get out of your own head” and really truly live the song. Students are required to bring with them a piece of music from their audition book, their church, or perhaps just a song they like to sing around the house. Tyler will coach you through your piece, offering insight to help get you performance ready.
Registration fee: $60 paid in advance. Please contact the Director of the ATS&O to register and submit your fee: dankehoe@aroundtownsingers.org or call the ATS&O National Box Office and leave a message at (860) 386-5154. All ages. Comfortable dress. Limited to 15 participants, to allow for adequate personal focus. Sorry, we are unable to accommodate walk-ins.
