Spring class 4/17: Agent Josh Sassanella

About Josh

From Studio to Stage

A performance class series for Broadway singers

Is the singer you hear in the rehearsal studio not always the singer that the auditioners or audience hear?   FROM STUDIO TO STAGE is a series of performance classes designed to bridge the gap between practice and performance.

Insight from Industry

Unique in its format, each FROM STUDIO TO STAGE class features two industry professionals: vocal technician Natalie Wilson and a guest coach from "the other side of the table": a manager, agent, director, or casting director who knows what gets people hired.

What do I get?

Each 3-hour class is limited to just 9 singers, so each singer gets 15-20 minutes of individual coaching on audition or performance repertoire from both a vocal technique angle and presentation angle, in a supportive atmosphere in front of an audience.  


Auditors get to observe what it looks like when other people audition, and gain valuable insight into what people behind the table see.

What does it cost?

Singer slots are $110. Auditor slots are $25. 

How do I sign up?
