Over the last decade, musical theatre has become part of mainstream American culture. From television shows like Glee and Smash, to the cultural phenomenon of the Broadway show Hamilton, musical theatre has never been more popular. Singers of all ages and backgrounds are drawn to the artform.
In So You Want to Sing Musical Theatre, Updated and Expanded Edition, Broadway vocal coach, voice teacher, and voice researcher Amanda Flynn provides the skills singers need to successfully sing musical theatre repertoire. Including a foreword by George Salazar, the book is updated for musical theatre performance in the current era, covering a broader array of topics with deeper discussion than the original edition:
musical theatre history
a basic understanding of singing voice science
vocal health as it pertains to the grueling demands of musical theatre
musical genres seen and heard in musical theatre productions
vocal production of various musical theatre sounds
musical theatre repertoire, including how to find repertoire and developmental concerns
acting, dancing, and other movement for singers of musical theatre
working with kids in musical theatre productions
auditioning for musical theatre at all levels
profiles of Broadway singers, exploring their training, their methods of vocal upkeep, and their advice for aspiring musical theatre singers.
The So You Want to Sing series is produced in partnership with the National Association of Teachers of Singing. Like all books in the series, So You Want to Sing Musical Theatre, Revised and Expanded Edition features online supplemental material on the NATS website.
