Guest Director announcement for Audition Intensive Weekend 10/18 & 19!

I am thrilled to announce that my talented friend, writer/director Todd E. Freeman, will be joining us as the guest director at my Audition Intensive Workshop. Freeman (Cell Count) is currently developing his eighth feature film project, Love Sick, and working on another new script to add to his slate. I've had Todd as a guest in my workshop before, and it turned out to be one of our most memorable visits ever.

The workshop takes place on Saturday and Sunday, 10/18 and 10/19, from 9am-5:30pm. $185.

The goal of this workshop is to illuminate, for each actor, the things they are doing well in auditions -- and those pesky things that require attention. It usually doesn't take more than seeing yourself on a several foot tall screen to instantly see where you need improvement... haha. Becoming confident and competent in auditions is not something that happens overnight. It takes a dedication to finding a place within yourself from which to always show off the best of what you've got!

The PayPal button up there to the right is the best way to secure your spot in this workshop today! I am limiting the workshop to the first 12 actors who register.
