This master class will focus on audition technique and acting your song through in-depth understanding of your material, quieting the noise that comes with the industry, and bringing your full authentic self to the work. Eden will work with 8 student participants, then finish the evening out with a Q&A.

​

Participants should prepare 32-bar or approximate 1-minute song cut. Singers should bring sheet music in the correct key. An accompanist will be provided. Singers may be called at 6pm to go over their song with the accompanist prior to the class. 

 

A MESSAGE FROM EDEN - ABOUT THE WORK:

Pursuing the arts as a career is tough. Constant rejection, finding the balance between having a thick skin, but trying to remain open and vulnerable, comparing yourself to other people, losing your own perspective on things. All of this and more can contribute to the artist losing their sense of self and their joy. Having experienced all of these things, I strive to create a safe space in order for the artist to really engage their imagination and their hearts so they can fully begin to personalize material, and bring their full selves to their work. There is only one of YOU and it's important to know that you are enough and no one else can do the exact same thing that you can! You will be challenged, you will be uncomfortable, but it is through these moments that the biggest breakthroughs occur. Come and play with us!

 

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
EDEN ESPINOSA was recently nominated for both Tony and Drama League awards for her stunning performance as Tamara De Lempicka in the bold and robust Broadway production of Lempicka. Variety raved “Espinosa, starring in the title role, brings both luminosity and strength to her powerful performance…”. Eden’s career as an actress, singer, and voice over artist has spanned two decades on stage and screen. Espinosa is warmly recognized for her critically acclaimed and iconic portrayals of Elphaba in Wicked (Broadway, Los Angeles, and San Francisco), and Maureen Johnson in the closing Broadway company of Rent. Eden's passions also have extended to the development of new works, stemming from her early years originating the title role of the now cult favorite Brooklyn the Musical on Broadway to more recently starring in Michael John LaChuisa's The Gardens of Anuncia at Lincoln Center. Eden is thrilled to have returned to Broadway to originate her second titular role, as Tamara De Lempicka. Eden, an in-demand Voice Over artist, was nominated for an Emmy Award for her work as The Queen of Hearts in Disney's Alice's Wonderland Bakery.
