Dramatic Ballads Voice Masterclass
MASTERCLASS FEES
Single Class - $50
Three Classes - $145
Tuesday Sept 16, 7pm
In musical theatre, a dramatic ballad is a slow, emotionally charged song that tells a story and often explores significant character development or plot advancement. It typically features sustained notes, longer musical phrases, and a focus on storytelling through powerful vocals and acting. Gather together sing some drama! In this class, you will find a supportive environment that encourages individual excellence. Pick one song and learn something that challenges you. This masterclass welcomes all experienced singers interested in finding their true singing voices and developing those talents to their fullest potential while working on songs that inspire you to strive for excellence.
I am happy to make repertoire suggestions for all participants.
