This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop and apply acting skills including characterisation, improvisation and observation to musical theatre roles.

The unit applies to those who are required to sing and dance, which adds an extra dimension to the acting skills required. At this level, supervision and guidance are provided during practice sessions. However, individuals are expected to work independently on experimenting with ways to sustain a role and convey complexity of meaning by integrating vocal and movement skills.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
