size=4><EM>In this workshop, students will study fundamental principles of
acting and the development of physical and vocal self-expression in character
interpretation. Each student will develop these skills by selecting, memorizing
and performing monologues that can be used for auditions. The audition process
will also be discussed with tips on material choice, presentation, resumes and
what to wear. You will learn how to develop your monologue as an acting piece as
well as make your monologue presentation in a confident, professional
manner.</EM></FONT></FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>
