Are you someone who constantly auditions, gets close, but then you don’t book the job? There is probably a good reason.
This three -month professional course in musical theatre has been specially designed by professionals for professionals like you. Our programme will quickly identify your strengths and weaknesses to improve your success rate in this highly competitive industry.
The ICMT has worked closely with Casting Directors from the Industry to identify their needs. This course will polish the performers' skillset resulting in a higher success rate during castings.
The course takes place in Germany, home of the world’s third largest Musical Theatre Industry and will run out of the famous state-of-the-art studios at Stage Entertainment in Hamburg, which regularly casts and produces musicals all over Germany.
ICMT graduates are already employed in the German productions ‘Aladdin’, ‘Dirty Dancing’, ‘Hamilton’, and ‘Starlight Express’, proving their training works and so do their graduates.
This course is headed up by West-End Actor and Director, Kenneth Avery-Clark, and you will receive expert advice and training from Industry professionals from both Hamburg and London to help you make that leap.
Apart from daily dance, vocal and acting masterclasses, we offer one-to-one attention to work on the specific needs of the performer. At the end of the course, students will audition for Casting Directors in Hamburg.
Acceptance is by audition only and the first round is by video. Our team from London and Hamburg will review each video to find suitable candidates who will benefit from the course.
To be accepted on our musical theatre courses, students must audition first. If you need any further information, please don't hesitate to contact us at info@theicmt.com.
You will need to prepare 2 contrasting songs of your choice (1 ideally musical theatre). You should bring sheet music with you to the audition, and each song should last no longer than 2 minutes.
The panel will take into consideration: acting-through-song, range, tone, interpretation, technique and musicality.
You will need to prepare a monologue of your choice that is no longer than 3 minutes.
The panel will take into consideration: truth, text connection and understanding, characterisation, vocal clarity, projection, and presentation.
You will take part in a group jazz class led by a member of our faculty. You will learn a routine and work through techniques to demonstrate technique, musicality, spatial awareness, timing, style, and presentation.
If you are auditioning via video, you will be given a link to a dance routine to learn. There is a routine for beginner/intermediate levels and another routine for advanced levels.
Applicants will undergo a short interview with a senior member of the ICMT team. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for you to tell us why you would make a great ICMT student.
