During this two-day intensive workshop, we assist each actor in finding, selecting, and preparing the best audition pieces, rehearsing alone, and connecting the craft of acting with the business of casting for theater, television, and film. Working in-depth on contemporary and classical material, we link monologue presentation with marketing strategy (including headshots), and examine the actor's choices in the context of the whole audition event. Students will be taped during their auditions so the can see what they need to work on and how much their work has improved during the class.
There is a week between each session to allow each student to utilize the tools taught in the first class.
