Working with several students who were up for major acting roles in Mary Poppins. We ran lines together and rehearsed their musical audition pieces. They all got the parts they were up for out of hundreds of auditioners. Very proud moment!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
You need to find the right fit for a teacher/coach. One who supports you and you have a connection with.
