Singing & Voice
Our academic year is divided into two semesters (Aug-Dec and Jan-May) for each class/age group. Each session will stand alone with a unique focus so a student may take either (or both) sessions over the course of the year without repeating the curriculum. Limited experience is needed dependent on the age group/class selection. Topics, modified with age-appropriate lessons, will range from voice and diction, to improvisation and scene work - even how to audition. Throughout the year, special camps and workshops take place – so be sure to check out the schedule to find out what’s happening and when.
All curriculum is aligned with the Indiana Theater Standards for grades K-12 as posted on the Indiana Department of Education website. 4-week trial sessions will be available for some classes over the course of the year. Every class will incorporate a warm-up, focused lesson, practice time, and share out.
A non-refundable YEARLY registration fee of $25 per family is due upon enrollment (collected per academic year Aug-July). This fee is factored into the tuition of each class for your convenience. If you plan to register more than one child, please reach out for a sibling discount code.
Please remember to check out using the CART function in the upper right-hand corner. If you do not get an email confirmation, you have not fully registered for a class or camp. Thank you!
VOCAL CONNECTIONS
Singing CLASSes
2nd-4TH, or 5th-8th GRADE
Each class will include an age appropriate vocal warm up along with vocal technique instruction. Selected musical pieces may include solo, duet, and ensemble singing. Most musicals require overlapping singing (and harmonizing) which can be incredibly difficult for singers. In addition, standing out in auditions - singing while ACTING will be a main focus.
Classes are 50 minutes (1hr). Instructors: Ms. Carol, Ms. Vivian and/or Ms. Jami
$60 per student for a 6-week session - no makeups provided
6-week sessions:
Oct 21-Dec 7

VOCAL coaching - private
Semester long or audition prep
4th-12TH GRADE
Private voice lessons are available for students in 4th grade and above. These lessons focus on proper breathing, diction, pitch matching, increasing vocal range, developing vocal strength, and blending vocal registers. No two voices are exactly the same, so lessons are individualized for each student. Repertoire is chosen through collaboration between the student and instructor. Styles include musical theatre, pop, and art songs. If you choose a semester long option, your semester follow our semester class schedule with 2 built in makeup weeks. Please be sure to read the private voice commitment carefully when registering and write down all dates.
Classes are 30 minutes.
Instructor: Ms. Vivian - Semester long coaching
$300 per student per semester with 2 built in makeup days
Instructor: Ms. Vivian or Ms. Carol - 3-sessions focused on audition prep
$60 per student for a 3-session prep (limit 1 per semester)
MUSICAL THEATRE – dancing
Beginner - New to dance style (2nd-4th)
OR
Intermediate/Advanced - Currently taking dance/trained in past (5th-10th grade)
This class is for CHOREOGRAPHY (dance) BUILDING. In musical theatre, there are typical steps you will see in your next dance callback to ace your audition. We will have TWO 6-week sessions in which we will introduce a new song and teach students to dance to that piece of music. Occasional solos will be given, but this class mostly focuses on the role of the ensemble in terms of DANCING. Jazz or ballet shoes will be needed for all classes except tap classes. Tap shoes must be brand name in order to protect the dance floor surface.
The BEGINNER class is ideal for those who have never danced or have never been introduced to a certain style of dance (tap, jazz, contemporary, etc.).
The INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED class is designed for those who are currently taking dance classes or may have taken in the past and need to brush up for an audition or keep skills up to par – or just want to let loose and have a little fun learning a dance to one of their favorite songs! We will work at a FAST pace in a workshop style 1x a month.
You can sign up for every session or just one at a time. This class does NOT participate in Share Weeks unless otherwise noted.
Classes are 40 minutes (1hr).
Instructors: Ms. Heather, Ms. Vivian or Ms. Jami
$60 per student for a 6-week session - no makeups provided
Intermediate/advanced classes are 1 hour. $20 per student per session
AUDITION PRIVATE COACHING: ACTING, VOICE OR DANCE
Audition private coaching lessons are primarily structured as a short-term process to prepare for a specific audition. Students may provide their own audition material to rehearse. If needed, assistance to find audition materials may be requested in advance. Private audition coaching may be requested for any of the following areas: acting (Ms. Jami/Ms. Vivian/Ms. Heather), voice (Ms. Carol/Ms. Vivian) or dance (TBD). Limit of 3 prep coaching sessions per semester.
Classes are 30 minutes and can be in-person or virtual. Email info@interactacademy.com for scheduling information.
“Thanks to my private coaching session over Zoom, I felt very confident and I knew what to expect for my first audition.”
“We just did an audition prep with Jami. It’s so very clear she is made for this. She was absolutely incredible with my son. He’s been working on his audition for a few months and Jami provided such a fresh perspective. Her advice is going to be extremely useful with his current audition and future auditions. Her passion, excitement and encouragement made for such a comfortable experience. My son is so excited for his next session.”
