"I cannot recommend the ICMT enough. I have learned so much from my time here.
I love that I am learning from current performers who are actively working in the industry. What also makes the ICMT stand out is that they treat all their students as individuals, everyone gets so much individual attention!
This is the place to be if you are passionate and want a strong foundation in all musical theatre disciplines."
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.
