Description	Musical Theatre 3C is for those students on Track C, who are developing specialist skills in acting and singing. This module comprises three disciplines: singing for audition, acting for audition and acting for camera. As versatile vocalists, students will be expected to demonstrate a full range of expertise across given repertoire categories that represent the musical theatre canon. This includes selecting and performing a range of songs for audition and the preparation of a range of acting monologues, encompassing a classical text, a contemporary piece and another selected genre, depending on individual strengths. In acting for camera, students will develop skills in camera technique and vocal production. Across all these disciplines, students will focus on their technical and performance skills to prepare them for the demands of the musical theatre and theatre industries.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Demonstrate a detailed understanding and appreciation of the demands and requirements of professional acting and singing auditions and how to fulfil them; Demonstrate the practical expertise and confidence in the performance of a range of audition materials across singing and acting; Conduct themselves in a professional manner within audition contexts.
