About the course
(Re)Discover acting through song with this Actor Refresh evening course, designed for professional actors who would like to refresh or build confidence in their singing practice.
Whilst this course will explore basic singing technique and musicality, the focus will be on how to act through a song, and how to approach song as a means of storytelling.
You'll leave the course with a selection of techniques to approach song preparation and performance.
What will I learn?
- You'll explore key elements of singing technique, musicality and storytelling.
- You'll explore song selection and preparation.
Is this course for me?
This course is suitable if you have trained at drama school, or have significant professional acting experience. You don't need to have studied singing or acting through song previously to take part in the course.
Our expert tutor will adapt to the specific requirements and experience of the cohort, and you can expect to be challenged and supported to ensure that you get the most out of the course.
You'll be working as part of a group, and will be expected to sing in front of each other. Although you will receive bespoke, one-to-one feedback, participants should note that this course is not an individual or private singing class.
This is a professional level course, and is designed for participants with significant acting experience.

Key Information

LAMDA's Actor Refresh courses have no 'product' other than the vitally important task of reconnecting with the joy of acting.
In the day-to-day hustle of being a jobbing actor it is so easy to lose sight of your love of acting, and these courses seek to redress this. Where many workshops aimed at professional actors are industry-focused, taking part in an Actor Refresh course is a radical opportunity to simply act.
Participants will need to bring a song (including one verse and one chorus) as well as sheet music to the course.
This song can be in any genre, but it needs to have a story behind it / a reason to be sung.
Tutor information to be announced.
