The Voice's Producer Instructs Teens this Summer

Musical Theatre Training for the camera has never been so fun or so accessible for young teens!

In Session I of the Summer Musical Theatre Training Program, students will learn performance techniques with faculty, an on-camera acting instructor, and receive face-time with award-winning NBC producer and talent scout Dean McFlicker (The Voice, Smash, America’s Got Talent, The Sound of Music Live, The Wiz Live) for a once in a lifetime master class on musical theater dance for the camera. This program will provide young performers with a diversified skillset both on stage and on screen. Students will have the opportunity to perform one of their pieces filmed in a typical studio-setting.
