"Impressive Auditions" Workshop with David Dean Bottrell

David is going to be teaching an ongoing class at The Actors Link. The last Sunday of every month, he will offer his "Impressive Auditions" workshop. This is not a pre-requisite for taking his ongoing class, but will definitely give you a sneak peak into his teaching methods and philosophy. The first Friday of every month will begin his four week ongoing class-- you must sign up at the beginning of the cycle, as you would at any other studio. This is not meant as a "one and done" type of class-- each month you will work on new material, which will only help you grow as an actor. Many of David's current students have been in the class for quite some time, and we truly hope that each of you will take advantage of the skills he brings to the table.
