Dear BRVS students, families, and friends,


I’m pleased to announce a new opportunity for professional training this summer.


Bill Reed Voice Studio “Singers on Stage” Series

presents


“Acting through Song” with Alan Langdon and Bill Reed

A Four-Day Intensive Experience


Tuesday, June 25 through Friday, June 28, 2019

Spotlight Vermont


Participants ages 11 through adult will work on a musical theater song, as well as a monologue, with me and the venerable Alan Langdon, who will be traveling from New York City to coach student and adult studio members on acting technique. This format is particularly valuable to performers who are planning on auditioning for school, community theater, and college programs. Over the 30-plus years that Alan and I have presented the June Intensive, students of all ages have found this training to be a life-changing experience.


Space is limited, and registration is required on or before 5 p.m. on Friday, April 12.


To register, please email billreedvoicestudio@gmail.com with the participant’s name, email address, and cell phone number. (Students must be at least 11 years old and rising sixth graders to register.) For students younger than 18, please also include birthdate, school, and parent or guardian name. We will respond with additional forms and an invoice for the required, nonrefundable $200 deposit. Your registration will be confirmed once payment is received.


This is a very special opportunity to develop essential performance skills in a convenient location with one of the most revered acting teachers in the country. I encourage you all to join us on this adventure into the art of the actor.


Break a leg! Bill
