What does your character want, and how does that change the way you sing? In this master class, Alison Fraser, who earned Tony Award nominations for The Secret Garden and Romance/Romance, helps performers turn lyrics into clear, specific acting choices. Nate Patten, music director and conductor of Broadway’s Elf, provides live piano accompaniment.

Students will explore who they’re singing to, what they want from that person, and where the character changes their mind. They’ll try different ways to play those moments and leave with practical tools for their next audition or performance.
