Masterclasses from industry professionals
Wednesday 15th May 2019
Led by Telly Leung, star of ALADDIN on Broadway and Wes the Warbler on TV’s hit show GLEE!
MGA is delighted to welcome Telly Leung to Edinburgh for an Acting through Song masterclass, for ages 13 and upwards.
Topics covered:
- Musical Theatre Audition Techniques
- Vocal Performance Skills
- Authentic Storytelling
- College Audition Tips
- Q and A Session
Places are limited – age 13+. You must book early to ensure a spot. If you are interested in singing in this masterclass, please prepare 32 bars of a musical theatre song that represents your skills, style, and personality. An accompanist will be provided, so bring sheet music in the correct key that is clearly marked. Sheet music should be placed in a binder with non-glare sheet protectors. Telly will engage ALL students in the entire class. Those who are interested in singing will put their name in a hat at the top of the class. Telly will pull names from the hat and work with as many singers as possible in the allotted time, utilising those students and their selections to engage the entire class in a close examination and discussion of vocal and story-telling techniques to find deeper connection to their pieces. You do not need to sing to participate in the class. Singing participants and observers are welcome.
