Led by actor and USC musical theater professor Jenni Barber (Playhouse’s Sunday in the Park with George, Broadway’s Beetlejuice), Acting the Song is a class for experienced beginners ready to take the next step in embodied singing and musical storytelling. Through physical and vocal warm-ups, ensemble-building exercises, and personal song exploration, students will deepen their connection to music and performance in a supportive, community-driven space. We’ll work from the ground up; starting with songs you love, learning a group piece, and eventually building the tools to interpret and perform solo material with authenticity and confidence. This class is a joyful, low-pressure stepping stone toward fully “acting the song”…and loving every step of the journey.

PLEASE NOTE: We have a limited number of partial scholarships available, which will be offered on a rolling basis. If you are interested in a scholarship, please apply using the link below.
