Singing, Dancing, Actingtriple threats can do them all. And they can do them on a professional level. If you’re interested in a career in the performing arts, chances are you already have at least one of these talents perfected. The key is to hone in on the other two skills and master them as well. Triple threats are much more likely to be cast in a musical or production than someone limited to one discipline. In fact, the combination of the three desirable traits is becoming the norm in today’s musical theatre business.If you’re serious about a career in theatre, you’ll want to start developing all three skills early on. If you’re a dancer, take singing lessons on the side to develop your voice. If you’re a singer, sign up for a beginner jazz dance class. It would also be helpful to enroll in some tap and ballet classes to show versatility, but jazz is the main style choreographed in theatrical dances. Drama and acting classes that teach the appreciation and history of the art as well as the skills and performance aspects are key to a career in theatre. Most colleges and universities worldwide offer classes in each of the triple threat subcategories. You should seek schools that not only offer a drama major, but also offer musical and dance programs. In addition to taking the appropriate classes, you should put your talents work in community theatres. Local venues host shows with casts of all age groups, so finding an age appropriate audition shouldn’t be a problem. Performing locally will help you hone your skills and show you what areas need work. Past experience also looks good to a panel when auditioning.If you look at the Broadway musical productions today, it’s clear the main roles are all expert triple threats. Their voices are just as powerful as their acting as they constantly dance across stage. Of course, you can be successful without having all of the triple threat attributes professionally pinned down, but you’re chances of making it big increase exponentially once you can sing a song, act and act, and dance a dance at the same time.
