CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
DAYTIME VILLAGE 8-WEEK
This collaboration with all three teachers is an 8-week overview of on-camera and audition technique. Over the 2 months Jami, Christy and Caroline will be teaching 2 classes together and splitting the other 6 classes between them. You will experience 3 different perspectives and learn skills that will help you kill your auditions!
CAROLINE LIEM’S ONGOING
This ongoing class supports bringing your unique self to the audition process, authentically and without apology. I believe you already possess everything to deliver your best performance under every circumstance. My job as professor, teacher and collaborator is to uncover what is uniquely you, provide the tools & techniques to deepen your work and dare you to share that with the world. 20 years as a casting director provides a unique perspective on what is expected in the meeting and the audition process. Weekly we will explore all that is meaningful to your audition: preparation, mock scenarios, showing up for yourself and the room, making your work stand out from the rest while deepening your craft.
CHRISTY FAISON’S ONGOING
Through weekly practice, this class focuses on improving audition skills, being “present” in the audition room and exploring paths to get out of your head. My insights, knowledge and intuitions come from years of casting and teaching. Utilizing a compilation of mock auditions and exercises we explore the many audition scenarios, including but not limited to guest star, co-star, and series-regular roles, the audition process from the pragmatic to the profound and the assorted challenges that today’s actor faces. Guest speakers often share their experiences of the audition process, adding first hand experiences from being in front of and/or behind the camera. The end results are developing skills for the actor to express himself with more ease, relaxation and authenticity thereby being prepared for auditions and to book work.
JAMI RUDOFSKY’S ONGOING | 8-WEEK AUDITION INTENSIVE
Jami’s ongoing class approaches the work from her experience of being a Casting Director who has been in the audition room for over 20 years. Each week is different and explores all aspects of what it takes to make your audition, and ultimately your work, stand out from the rest. Jami creates a space for actors to collaborate and support each other through their creative journey to becoming a more powerful actor.
CAROLINE’S POWER TOOL BUSINESS 8-WEEK
In 8 weeks, POWER TOOLS will connect the dots of the ‘business of you’ with your actor training.
This all-business (but all-fun) class will strengthen your individual marketing materials (pictures, resume, reel), zero in on your unique image, your online presence, developing an impressive reel, creating your own content, self-taping, self-care and correspondence and communication, all in preparation for your upcoming meetings and auditions. Class includes guest speakers and panel discussions.
Class begins February, date TBA.
