Disney Performing Arts Workshops

Workshop Overview

Recommended for Middle School, Junior High and High School Choral Ensembles

Performers experience the exhilaration — and the demands — of being a professional performer as they prepare music for a soundtrack recording session. During this 2 1/2-hour program, your group will record a song and voiceovers from a Disney animated feature film's soundtrack in a fast-paced recording studio environment.

Performers will also examine the skills, attitudes and priorities required for vocal performance excellence as they:

• Learn vocal techniques to improve diction and produce unified vowel sounds using 3 and 4 part music
• Develop better breath control through good posture.
• Examine varied musical styles and how different vocal production techniques are required in the music industry.
• Discover proven audition tips that will increase your chances of success.
• Learn how to be flexible in your approach to songs and voiceovers.
• Discuss the requirements of a studio recording environment and what is expected of performers
• Learn the music and basic choreography from a real Disney production number.

All music is provided at the workshop and taught by your Disney clinician and accompanist.
The music selected is scored to your group's ability level to ensure final performance success. Choreography is limited to movement on choral risers.
