Professional theatre artists in New York city 22+, join us in our Theatrical Reel Bootcamp to sing and get feedback from one of the top Broadway casting directors in the business Merri Sugarman. Merri will work with a small number of students on their songs and give feedback so they can improve the next time they are in the audition room. With Merri’s nearly 30 years of experience in casting for Broadway, TV and film will give you insight on your material and what you need to do in the room to get called back.
Broadway vocal coach and past agent, Rachel Cohen McKenna will work with you the week before via zoom so you can work on the piece before stepping into the room. You will choose your best two or three songs so Rachel can hear you and give critique. She will also be in the room with Merri to play the piano of your chosen song. With Nyle Lynn you will meet beforehand via zoom to get your outfit ready and have a self tape consultation. The Sunday following working with Merri, Nyle will help you record 2 professionally produced theatrical reels to help you start submitting for auditions right away . The best foot forward is presenting your work professionally and this weekend will do this for any professional artist.
