New! Online MUSICAL THEATER Audition Master Class with Chad Eric Murnane CSA, Casting Director, Binder Casting

Monday, June 28, 2021, 7pm ET / 4pm PT

From one of the busiest Broadway casting offices in NY, Actors Connection is thrilled to have Chad teaching this Musical Theater Audition Master Class.

This online intensive will start off with a Q & A, and then each actor will perform for Chad using your prepared material in a group format.

Please prepare two 32 bar cuts. Please note that you may only work with him on one piece so do your best song first.

He will coach, give direction and offer possible recommendations of material to "check out" if what you are currently using doesn't "work".

Chad is committed to diverse, inclusive and intelligent casting and has a passion for discovering new talent. His process eliminates artificial boundaries between theatre, television and film. He believes a great actor is a great actor. He understands how to connect the commercial with the artistic, seeking polished, provocative artists that have the education and skill to deliver.

Chad loves teaching as it gives him the opportunity to nurture actors and empowers them to succeed. Through teaching he helps them learn from the mistakes that he sees every day in the audition room. Additionally, he helps actors identify their individual strengths to ensure they understand how to make the most of an audition opportunity.

Please note that an accompanist will not be provided.  All actors will need to provide their own music/track for this intensive.

This class is limited to 15 ADVANCED Musical Theater actors.
