🪩 Are you at least 16 years old and ready to take those car and shower solos to the next level? Are you a singer looking to hone your skill set? Are you auditioning for an upcoming show?

🎤🎶 This vocal workshop is designed for singers of all levels and abilities to practice and receive professional coaching under the direction of long-time guest artist Ron Drotos. Ron has Broadway and New York Cabaret and Jazz scene experience coaching amateur and professional singers and actors and will help you to make the song all your own while developing the confidence and stage presence to deliver an amazing performance! You’ll be coached on choosing songs, interpreting lyrics, phrasing and tempos, setting your best key, stage presence, patter, and microphone technique. You will rehearse your music in a supportive, encouraging, “master class” environment. The instructor will provide piano accompaniment and performance tips, while your classmates observe and provide constructive feedback. You will create a personalized arrangement of your song, memorize the lyrics, and perform it at the end of the week. You may perform individually or with a small group (duet, trio, quartet, etc.), and choose songs from any style – pop, rock & roll, jazz, Broadway show tunes, blues, folk, gospel, country, or even an original piece that you composed yourself. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned professional, this course will help you develop your own personal singing style, while preparing for a fun and amazing Cabaret performance at the end of the week.

🗓️ Sing for one or both weeks, M-F, July 20-24 or 27-31. Morning and evening sessions available.
📍Rehearsals at McGowan Room, UAF
💰$110/week or $200 for both
🎟️ Register online at www.fsaf.org

All participants will perform in the Friday evening live performance with an audience at T’s on Two Street downtown! 🖤
