Have a school musical, community theater show, or theater program audition ahead? Online one-to-one coaching with Amanda helps teens prepare more confidently by connecting healthy singing technique with expressive storytelling.
Shape a song cut and prepare your entrance and ending.
Build clear, sustainable singing habits.
Explore character, intention, and monologue work.
The details depend on the audition notice and your goals. Coaching can include choosing an appropriate song, shaping a short audition cut, singing clearly without pushing, working out a character’s intention, or preparing a monologue. Amanda works with middle school, high school, and college-bound performers.
Amanda is a conservatory-trained voice teacher and experienced musical theater performer. Her online coaching combines music, character choices, and sustainable vocal habits. Lessons can support a student’s first audition or a more demanding performance goal.
Simple, practical steps you can use at home and during your private coaching.
Read the instructions first. Check time limits, song styles, accompaniment requirements, and whether a monologue is needed.
Choose material you understand. Know who the character is, whom they are speaking to, and why the words matter.
Practice the entrance and ending. Rehearse how you begin, where you breathe, and what happens after the last note.
Make one change at a time. Record a run-through and improve one clear detail instead of trying to fix everything simultaneously.
Manage vocal energy. Make space for breaks rather than repeating a difficult phrase until you are tired.
Make it personal. Tell Amanda about your audition, what you’re preparing, and where you’d like guidance.
Absolutely. Many students begin preparing for their first school musical without knowing what an audition cut is or how the process works. Amanda can start with the instructions for your production, help you identify a realistic goal, and practice the moments that tend to feel most intimidating. You don’t have to arrive with everything figured out—this is a place to learn and build confidence.
Yes! Musical theater auditions often ask performers to communicate a character’s story as clearly as they sing. Bring your monologue or the audition guidelines, and Amanda can help you explore what your character wants, find natural moments in the text, and make your choices specific. If you’re also preparing a song, you can work on carrying that same storytelling into your singing.
Bring the audition notice, your audition date, and any song or monologue you are considering. If the production specifies a song length, musical style, or accompaniment requirements, share those details so your time can be focused on what matters most. Don’t worry if you haven’t chosen your material yet; you can discuss options with Amanda. A notebook or a way to save your practice notes is helpful, too.
