Hi there!  I'm Melissa Boher Jacobson.   I've been working with countless young performers, helping them prepare for auditions, for over 25 years.  I love what I do, especially helping young performers unlock the mysteries of how to have confident successful auditions EVERY TIME. You see, auditioning and performing are related, but separate skills.  You don't have to wing it or hope that you'll be lucky at an audition. Once you know the techniques of great auditions, have the right material, and know how to optimally prepare your material, have your marketing and audition material correctly prepared, you will feel in control of the audition process.  Not only is that's a great feeling  but you will start seeing great results at your auditions. Some examples of the kinds of auditions I have prepared young performers for are:   

  • America's Got Talent
  • Broadway National Tours
  • the Yale School of Drama
  • Pageants
  • Professional regional and Off-Broadway theatres
  • Prestigious performing arts high schools, including the Dreyfoos School of the Arts, one of the top 20 high schools in the country. 

When young performers work with me one on one,  in person, by Skype or Facetime, or through one of my online courses, they receive thorough training in every aspect of auditioning, including:

  • Thorough guidance and specific selections of audition material, such as monologues, songs, etc.,lthat effectively maximizes performer confidence and success
  • Thorough training in specifc techniques to optimally rehearse and prepare audition material
  • How to speak comfortably and confidentally to auditors and other production staff
  • how to get the attention of the auditors before you even open your mouth
  • how to dress , how to follow up on auditions, how to work with musical directors and other production staff, such as readers and videographers, how to prepare and create audition videos
  • Ongoing feedback and support
