SAFETY EXPERT TROOPER STEVE. THIS IS NEWS. 6 AT 09:00AM GETTING RESULTS.
>> WELL, WEATHER IS BEING
ACCEPTED INTO A SCHOOL PROGRAM
OR CAREER MOVE BEING TURNED
DOWN CAN BE DISCOURAGING. BUT
IT IS A PART OF THE PROCESS.
SO OFTEN YOU HAVE TO GO
THROUGH GREAT DEAL OF NO’S
BEFORE GETTING A YES, THIS
BROADWAY ACTRESS CAN CERTAINLY
ATTEST TO THAT. BUT IF HE HAS
HER 10 YEAR RUN AS GLINDA, THE
GOOD IN THE AWARD-WINNING
BROADWAY MUSICAL, WICKED
DIDN’T COME WITHOUT HARD WORK.
HAAS GOT 72 KNOWS BEFORE.
GETTING THAT FIRST. YES ROLE.
NOW SHE’S HELPING FUTURE
PERFORMERS FIND THEIR STATE.
CANDACE CAMPOS RECENTLY TALKED
WITH HER OVER ZOOM ABOUT
DESTINATION BROADWAY.
>> GIVE US IDEA OF WHAT THIS
EVENT IS AT THE ROSEN CENTRE
HOTEL. IT’S FOR YOUNG,
ASPIRING PERFORMERS.
>> WHO GREW UP LIKE ME WHO
LOVED TO SING DANCE AND ACT
WANT TO HELP. YOU KNOW, TAKE
IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL. WE’RE
GOING INTO OUR 17TH YEAR OF
DESTINATION BROADWAY. AND IT’S
AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY. FOR
YOUNG PEOPLE TO BE KIND OF
SUBMERGED IN THIS WORLD OF
MUSICAL THEATER WHERE THEY’RE
WORKING AND TRAINING DAILY
WITH BROADWAY PROFESSIONALS,
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CURRENTLY
DOING IT, BROADWAY STARS TONY
AWARD-WINNING ACTORS AND THEN
BE ON THAT. THEY’RE HAVING
DANCE CLASSES WITH PROBABLY
KOREA COVERS LESSONS WITH
BROADLY MUSIC DIRECTORS, FOR
EXAMPLE, THE PERSON WHO TAUGHT
ME POPULAR IN IS ONE OF THE
VOICE TEACHERS. SO THAT’S
PRETTY INCREDIBLE AND TO TAKE
IT ANOTHER STEP FURTHER.
>> STUDENTS ARE WORKING IN
AUDITION TECHNIQUES. CLASSES
WITH CASTING DIRECTORS.
>> AGENTS MANAGERS, THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE TABLE ON A DAILY BASIS.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE,
WE’RE WORKING ON FOR THE RING
AND DEEPENING YOUR SKILL SET.
BUT MORE THAN THAT, ONE OF MY
FAVORITE PARTS ABOUT THE
PROGRAM IS HAVING A CASTING
DIRECTOR WORK WORK WITH THE
YOUNG PERCENT UNSAFE, OK? SO
WE’RE GOING TO WALK INTO THE
ROOM ONE AT A TIME. AND I’M
OKAY, LET’S LET’S GO AHEAD AND
GET STARTED. AND WE’RE GOING
TO CONDITION, OK? SO THE WAY
THAT YOU WALKED INTO THE ROOM
BEFORE YOU EVEN STARTED
SINGING, IT MADE ME THINK THAT
MAYBE I CAN’T TRUST YOU WITH
THIS PART. THIS IS A VERY BIG
ROLE. AND YOU WALKED IN WITH
YOUR HEAD DOWN. LET’S TRY IT
AGAIN. AND THAT IS ONE OF THE
MOST VALUABLE LESSONS I THINK
FOR YOUNG PEOPLE, WHETHER YOU
GO INTO THE WORLD OF THE
PERFORMING ARTS, WE’RE NOT
HAVE YOU HAVE A DIFFERENCE YOU
KNOW, THE STUDENTS COMING FROM
THE ORLANDO AREA COMPLETELY.
SO WHAT’S REALLY GREAT ABOUT
THE PROGRAM IS WE STILL
ADDITION STUDENTS FROM ALL
OVER THE COUNTRY. SO THEY’RE
COMING TO US FROM ALL OVER.
THE UNITED STATES OUGHT TO,
HOWEVER, SINCE MOVING THE
PROGRAM TO ORLANDO, WE’VE SEEN
MORE INTEREST FROM PEOPLE ALL
OVER THE U.S. AND THEN TONS OF
INTEREST FROM PEOPLE
SPECIFICALLY IN CENTRAL
FLORIDA, SOUTH FLORIDA, KIND
OF ALL OVER FLORIDA. WE’VE HAD
SOME STUDENTS. I’M RIGHT THERE
SIGNED TO TO GO TO A BROADWAY
SHOW AND NATIONAL TOUR
COMMERCIALS TV SHOWS AND IS
NOT DISH LIKE I JUST SIGNED
THEM UP WITH THE WHOLE
PROCESS. LIKE GREAT QUESTION.
THERE IS AN AUDITION PROCESS.
IT’S AN AUDITION ONLY PROGRAM
AND WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
EITHER IF WE’RE HOLDING LIVE
AUDITIONS, WE GET TO WORK WITH
THE STUDENTS AND MAYBE SAY
COULD YOU TRY ANOTHER SONG?
COULD I SEE SOMETHING
DIFFERENT? BUT FOR VIDEO
SUBMISSIONS, WHICH IS ABOUT
80% OF OUR STUDENTS SINCE
THEY’RE FROM ALL OVER THE
COUNTRY. WE ASK FOR THEM TO
EITHER. I’M SAYING ABOUT 30
SECONDS OR A 32 BAR CUT A SONG
OR IF THEY FEEL THAT THEY’RE
STRONGER AS A DANCER THAN WE
WANT TO SEE A LITTLE VIDEO OF
THEM PERFORMING A SOLO THAT
BEST SUITS THEM. AND THEN THE
MOST IMPORTANT PART IS THE
INTRODUCTION. WE WANT TO HEAR
THEM SAY HI, MY NAME IS
TIFFANY HAAS. I’M THIS AGE AND
I LOVE PERFORMING BECAUSE OR
I’D LOVE TO ATTEND DESTINATION
BROADWAY BECAUSE AND THE
REASON THAT WE WANT TO KNOW
THAT BECAUSE IS REALLY JUST TO
GET A SENSE OF THEIR
PERSONALITY. IT’S SO MUCH MORE
FUN TO WORK WITH SOMEBODY WHO
IS EAGER, WHO IS EXCITED TO
TRY MORE. WHO WANTS TO TRY IT
AGAIN AND THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE
THEIR LED BY THEIR HEAD. BUT
WITH PRACTICE, THEY’LL GET
THAT FLEXIBILITY. AND SO
THAT’S REALLY WHAT WE’RE
LOOKING FOR. YOUNG PEOPLE WHO
ARE HUNGRY AND WHO WILL EAT UP
THIS OPPORTUNITY ON A SILVER
PLATTER.
>> JULIE: THAT’S A NATION.
BROADWAY IS A ONE-WEEK
INTENSIVE PROGRAM. IT’S OPEN
FOR PERFORMERS, AGES 8 TO 18.
IT KICKS OFF SUNDAY, JULY 31ST
IN THE AUDITION PROCESS STAYS
OPEN UNTIL THE PROGRAM STARTS
AWESOME. WHEN WE HAVE SO MANY
CUTS WITH ARTS AND TO HAVE
THAT AS A RESOURCE WITH A
STAR. YES. WHAT A WHAT A
