Audition Preparation Workshop

Allison Beula

Grades 6-10

Tuesday, December 13, 7:00-9:00 pm
OR
Saturday, December 17, 1:00-4:00 pm

This workshop is perfect for those auditioning for entry into an arts school or those who are interested in approaching an agent or auditioning for a specific show. The art of the audition is a skill that benefits from special coaching. There are many techniques and tips that any performer, from amateur to pro, can easily use to not only improve the audition but can carry into one’s ability as a performer. Once you craft your audition, you can focus on the work you are presenting, not on the nerves and doubt that surround your audition. For those given an audition package with specific monologues we will not only work on crafting them, but we will also address the other audition elements including the interview and the improvisational portion. This limited space workshop will give you one on one invaluable attention, allowing you to craft your monologue as well as your overall presentation and maximizing your audition potential.
