POP/ROCK/R+B TRAINING
So you wanna be on Broadway? Broadway wants Pop/Rock/R+B!
Right now, over half the shows on Broadway are casting performers who can sing radio music like the real thing. If you can’t? Someone else will book the job.
If you don’t feel 100% confident walking into a pop/rock/R&B audition, you’re leaving roles on the table.
But we got you.
Stop sitting out auditions because you don’t know what to do. At GROOVE PLAYGROUND, we teach you exactly how to sing and perform these styles with confidence — step by step.
Understand the hallmarks of each genre (no more guessing!)
Master the vocal techniques that make you sound authentic
Move and perform like a pro, without feeling awkward
And your musical theatre skills? They’re an advantage. We just reorganize and repurpose them — so you can own these styles your way.
Forget “just feel it.” This is a repeatable, actionable process that works every single time. 🎭 + 🤘 = 🚀
Get in the room. Deliver. Be undeniable.

🤩
DYNAMIC DEMONSTRATIONS

LIVE IN LIVING COLOR
This isn’t some pre-recorded video course. It’s always taught live so we can discuss everything together and you can ask specific questions for customized guidance. Can’t make the Zoom meeting? No worries! You can watch a recording of the live seminar afterwards on your own time.
