Singing and the Actor Experience (SATA)...
Welcome to the 'Singing and the Actor' experience. On these pages
you will be able to find out more about the process of training
voices for singing in the theatre. Students of singing can have
access to further ideas for song journeys and song mapping; teachers
can have access to suggested lesson plans and write-ups of sample
lessons in the studio. There will also be bonus sound files
(exclusive to this site), reviews, and articles relating to
performance practice and pedagogy in musical theatre.
The next Singing and
the Actor Training will take place on
5-7 April 2008. Three days of
intensive training with personal input from Gillyanne and Jeremy on
your voice.

For now, here is a sample of things to come!

"Singing and the Actor, now in its second edition, first came
out in January 2000. I firmly believe that it heralds a
different approach to vocal training, one that is appropriate
to actors, singer and dancers working in the theatre. |
This is not because I have anything against a classical singing
training, which can have enormous benefits. However, we need to
recognise that the goals of musical theatre (text based) are very
different from those of classical singing (voice based). In addition
to this, musical theatre is a relatively young and fast-evolving
genre. Those of us teaching in that genre need strategies that will
help us prepare performers for the varying demands of the
profession. Those doing the performing need to understand how to
move safely through material as diverse as "If I Loved You" through
"Defying Gravity" to "One Night Only".
