Vocal Workshop with Leslie McDonel
You have seen her as the lead in sold-out performances of Zach Theater's Waitress, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, and A Night With Janis Joplin. This is a unique chance for your singers to learn directly from a professional who has taken the stage in these beloved productions.
Leslie McDonel will lead a 1.5-hour panel-style vocal workshop designed for six to eight vocalists. Each participant would have 10 minutes with her to present audition or school repertoire and receive coaching and feedback. The remaining participants would observe throughout, learning from the feedback given to others. There is an option of additional students as auditors so they can listen, take notes, and join the Q&A portion in the final 10 minutes.
