Voice lessons before getting into the childrens theatre?
Posted on March 1st, 2010 by admin
I want to start performing and getting involved with my local childrens theatre. I do forensics on my school team, which is where you pick a piece to act out in front of judges and they judge you. Theres many different categorys and I usually do group acting with my friend. We do fairly well and this past season we got very close to qualifying for state. I love the thrill of being nervous before performing and watching the audience react to what we do and say. But to be involved with my childrens theatre Im pretty sure it will involve singing and I am not too confident with my singing voice. I am 13 btw and female if it matters. So should I get some singing lessons first or see if I can just do acting with the program? I would like to sing though. Any suggestions on where I could look for a voice teacher?
You don’t need voice lessons for children s theater but THEY NEVER HURT. If you can get voice lessons at any age it can only help you. Typically, you won’t need voice lessons until you’re competing with a more mature, experienced pool of actors/actresses, and even then not everybody frankly needs voice lessons, though most people should have them. Freddie Mercury never had voice lessons….but not everybody is him. Point is, get lessons if you can, but you should be okay as long as you practice on your own or with a group. Always try to work on songs that challenge your range too, that will make you a more versatile person.
