Introduction

Audition tech
- A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE DO'S AND DON'T'S OF THE AUDITION PROCESS.
- CLASS WILL DISCUSS PREPARING FOR AN AUDITION, HOW TO DRESS, AUDITION ROOM ETIQUETTE, ANALYZING SIDES AND MATERIAL. A DISCUSSION ABOUT DEMO REELS, THE REALITY OF COMPETING IN THE LA MARKET, ETC.
- WE WILL DISCUSS THE APPROVAL PROCESS: GOING FROM THE ROOM TO PRODUCERS TO NETWORK TO TESTING.

Demo reels & Self taping
- A DISCUSSION REVOLVING THE IMPORTANCE OF REELS AND SELF-TAPING
Q & A

Performance
- CLASS WILL BE GIVEN APPROX 20 MIN TO REHEARSE SCENE WITH A PARTNER. SCENES WILL THEN BE PERFORMED IN FRONT OF THE CLASS. MULTIPLE COPIES WILL BE GIVEN OUT SO ACTORS CAN SEE DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS OF MATERIAL. ACTORS WILL GET A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT CASTING DIRECTORS, DIRECTORS AND PRODUCERS OBSERVE IN AN AUDITION. RE-DIRECTION AND ADJUSTMENTS WILL BE GIVEN.
Headshots/Resumes/Audition Followup
- WHAT REALLY MAKES A GOOD HEADSHOT/RESUME? HOW BEST TO FOLLOW UP WITH AN OFFICE?
