Acting instructor, Renato Biribin, Jr., joins Julia Gregory as they teach enrolled singers how to craft their song to performance level. Singers learn how to tell the story in a more meaningful way and with a deeper connection as an actor. Renato focuses on developing the character using the given circumstances of the scene leading into the song, the text of the song, and the ‘Who Am I?’ of the role. Julia focuses on opening up the student’s voice and the musicality of the performance. She will review vocal techniques that go into top-level vocal production and how the structure and arrangement of the song aids the performer in making strong acting choices. Each student should have one song prepared to sing and will receive adjustments from both Julia and Renato.
