Certificate in Musical Theatre (2 Year)

The 2-Year Certificate Program at NYFA's Musical Theatre School in New York is an immersive musical theatre training program. The conservatory-style program is designed to prepare students for the challenges of the musical theatre industry while expanding their physical and vocal range through classes, exercises, and performances. Through this hands-on approach, students learn to apply the emotional, physical, and technical work aimed to prepare them for stage and screen acting.
During their time at NYFA, musical theatre students complete a variety of projects, culminating in a final Graduation Package that includes masterclass experiences with outside industry professionals, comprehensive audition book, voiceover demo, two filmed audition musical theatre videos, a resume, as well as a professional, personal website. At the end of the program, graduates demonstrate their skills and receive feedback in a showcase panel for invited industry professionals. As this program requires a strong foundation of existing performance, dance, and voice skills, all prospective students must apply and audition.
The 2-Year Musical Theatre Program curriculum includes:
Classes in advanced musical theatre covering topics such as pop rock, improv, singing for the camera, voiceover, audition technique, and acting for film
Instruction, critique, and individual attention from our faculty, consisting of Broadway and screen performers and industry professionals that also include Music Directors, Stage Directors, and Choreographers
