80. Why Do You Need to Master Pop Rock? Looking at the Current Broadway Season and Beyond
Of all the musicals currently running on Broadway, all but 3 are firmly under the genre umbrella of Pop/Rock or are significantly influenced by pop/rock music. And that trend is felt in regional theaters and beyond. What does that mean for you? 80-90% of your auditions may be asking for a pop/rock song and you need to be ready!
The good news? It's not that deep! You need to develop a few simple skills to demonstrate a basic level of proficiency in this area, instead of passing on opportunities because you don't sound like Beyonce (we wish!). "Not everyone can be Michael Phelps in the pool," and that's ok!
Join us as we explore the industry's shift towards contemporary pop rock and discuss practical tips on achieving a level of proficiency that opens doors to exciting opportunities.
