* THURSDAY COLD READING CLASS - 3 THURSDAYS - FEBRUARY 20, 27 and MARCH 6th *
To quantify for this class you must either be extremely busy and unable to do homework like learning lines and meeting with a partner outside of class OR, be very lazy and the kind of person who waits until the last minute to do their work. In other words-a-phobe. BUT, hey, ya don't wanna slack completely because it's Murphy's Law that just when you have reached your rustiest a great audition hits your in-box. So purrfect. Cold Reading Class evaporates guilt and gives career insurance.
Auditioning is different from acting. It requires special skills and the ability to compete under stress in compressed time. Students simulate audition scenarios by role-playing casting directors, agents, directors, readers and auditioning actors. Each session actors are given new scripts to cold read. While sharpening skills, actors learn how to compete with vitality, create a personal win at every audition, stand out at auditions, sell themselves and win callbacks and bookings while still managing to be lazy. Absolutely no homework!
3 sessions on Thursdays, 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. $90
