New Weekend Audition Intensive, Sat & Sun 10/18-19. $185!

Howdy everyone!

It feels like it's been a while since I promoted a workshop. Well, I'm happy to announce that, by request, I am doing another one. A two-day, nuts and bolts, blood and guts exploration of the auditioning process. Every actor has to audition for professional work, it's a painful reality for anyone who aspires to live on the screen. Auditioning is the key to the door of working in the industry, and you can grow the skill set that leads to consistency and constantly putting your best foot forward when given the opportunity. Come take steps toward the next great audition on Saturday and Sunday, 10/18 and 10/19, from 9am-6pm. $185.

Come spend a couple of days with me and some very special guests - a casting director on Saturday and a notable writer/director on Sunday. We will shine a light on the strengths and weaknesses of each actor in simulated audition experiences -- first reads on Saturday, call backs on Sunday. Both days "auditions" will be taped. On Saturday, the tapes will be projected on a large screen and critiqued by the guest, myself and, at times, the actors themselves. On Sunday, the guest director will be offering individual feedback to each actor. There will also be time allotted for a brief Q&A at the end of each session. (If time allows, the call back tapes may be reviewed on Sunday.) *see tentative schedule below

The goal of this workshop is to show each actor, individually, the things they are doing well in auditions, and those pesky things that need more attention. It usually doesn't take more than seeing themselves on a several foot tall screen to get actors talking about where they need improvement... haha. Becoming confident, competent and competitive in auditions is not something that happens overnight. It takes a dedication to finding a comfortable space in which to always show them the best of what you've got!
