Weekend Audition Intensive Oct. 18th & 19th!

I am going to be conducting a weekend audition intensive workshop for actors ages 12+ on Saturday and Sunday, October 18th & 19th, from 9:00am-5:30pm. Class size will be limited to twelve actors.
Cost is $185 for the two days, with a $75 deposit due to secure registration.
There is a PayPal button located over there to the right, to make things easier ------>

Joining us in the workshop on Saturday is going to be Lori Lewis of Free Spirit Casting. Lori has worked on Leverage, Twilight, Extraordinary Measures, and much more. She is fantastic at her job, and brings a treasure trove of information with her to the workshop. She always tells it like it is when she visits, and her feedback is always valuable. I am also thrilled to announce that my talented friend, writer/director Todd E. Freeman, will be joining us as the guest director for the Sunday "call backs". 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 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!
