7. Vocal workshop on Wednesday, February 12. All songs will be reviewed at this time.

When you sing for us, we want to see how you handle character acting. Remember that YOUwill not be up on the stage, but your character will be. This is NOT Vocal Solo & Ensemblefestival. We want to hear and see more than just a teenager with a nice voice, You mustACT for us while singing! How much can you use your FACE & EYES when you sing.

Do your research. You should know the story behind the song that you shag otherwise, HOWCAN YOU EVER TELL ANYONE THE STORY behind it.

****HINT: Practice in your bathroom at home, in front of a mirror!!! It's a combination ofwhat we hear, but also, more importantly, what we SEE.
