Auditioning can be fun! In this class, actors will learn the basics of how to put together a solid audition, from planning bold choices on the page to getting out of their heads and over their nerves on the stage (or screen). Whether it’s the next big leading role or a co-star with one line, actors will build their own audition tools and leave feeling confident in the process.
