Auditions for the North Coast Men's Chorus- Sunday at 6:00
by via NEohioPAL 11 Sep '15

11 Sep '15

YOU DO IT IN THE CAR. YOU DO IT IN THE SHOWER. COME AND DO IT WITH US! We know you're out there! You are that guy who enjoys singing, but for some reason, you just haven't made the decision to join the North Coast Men's Chorus and sing with us on stage. Now is the time to change all of that! We are holding auditions and first rehearsal for our exciting 28th season on Sunday, September 13 at 6:00 p.m. These auditions are for our holiday concert on December 5 & 6 at the Hanna Theatre at Playhouse Square! If you can't make that date (but really try because we have treats the first night!), additional audition dates are September 20 and 27. NCMC AUDITIONS SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 20, & 27 AT 6:00 CHURCH OF THE ASCENSION 13216 DETROIT AVENUE, LAKEWOOD What do you need to be a member of NCMC? It's really pretty simple. We are looking for men who have a passion for singing, some level of musicality, a good voice, movement skills (Do you know what jazz hands are?), openness, teamwork and a positive attitude, and a commitment to our mission of presenting high quality musical entertainment for diverse audiences; promoting a positive influence within and beyond the gay community; and providing a supportive environment for its members and participants. Whatever your skills, all we ask is that you embrace singing in all styles. And, you don't have to be gay, just an ally. THE "AUDITION PROCESS" So, what do you need to prepare for your audition? Nothing really. You'll meet with Rich Cole, Artistic Director, and he will have you sing some scales, match some pitches and determine what section of the chorus your voice is best suited for. It is a pretty painless process and you'll be on your way to performing on-stage with the Chorus! REHEARSALS We have rehearsals every Sunday evening from 7:00 - 9:30 at Church of the Ascension, 13216 Detroit Avenue, Lakewood. Singers are expected to arrive by 6:45 pm to greet their friends and settle in so rehearsal can begin on time. As we get closer to the concert, rehearsals will start a little earlier at 6:30. The Chorus also holds a "mini-retreat" on a Saturday during each concert preparation period. These are scheduled months in advance, and the dates can always be found on the Members' website calendar. Production Week rehearsals are also required, and attendance is expected at dress rehearsals and tech rehearsals. Additional rehearsals are required of the dancers, but they all say that extra time is more fun than work! ATTENDANCE Attendance is expected at all rehearsals, but we realize that everyone has a busy life. When absences are necessary, it is expected members will contact their Section Leader (in advance where possible) to report their absence. MEMBERSHIP DUES AND OTHER EXPENSES Membership dues are an important part of the Chorus budget. Dues are $150 for the season, or just $125 if you pay dues for the whole season by November 1. While we rely on membership dues to help pay our bills, we do not want to exclude talented, dedicated singers because of inability to pay dues. Please communicate with our Treasurer or Business Manager if finances are an issue. Payment plans are available and no one will be turned away because of inability to pay. Members are responsible for acquiring their own basic black tuxedo, shirt, cummerbund and bow tie. Occasionally there might be an additional fee for a shirt or accessory rental. TELL ME MORE! So you think you are interested and you're asking yourself..."How can I get more information?" Call the NCMC hotline at 216-556-0590 or e-mail us at membership(a)ncmchorus.org

AUDITION for STUDENT FILMS
by B.R. Tatalovic, producer via NEohioPAL 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

When: 23 October 2015 (Fri), between 9:15am and 1:15pm Where: Tri-C Campus in Parma, 11000 W Pleasant Valley Rd, (park in "visitor"; walk to middle-building/galleria; look for room G107, next to campus police); If lost - call 440-783-2405. Cuyahoga Community College's beginner level film and video students are working on several short projects this semester and need local talent. This is an "Intro to Filmmaking" class taught by Prof. Bruno Tatalovic. Some of these talented beginners will become tomorrow's producers and directors (4-5 of my former students who started in this class couple of years ago - are already known in Cleveland's film biz for their great work), and couple of them won an award at this Summer's 48-Hour-Contest !!! If you are a local actor who wants to get more footage for your first demo-reel, this would be perfect opportunity for you. Each of these projects features 1-2 actors only and gives you a lot of screen time and dialogue or monologue lines. These are unpaid (volunteer / collaborate) productions. Get your first credit, your acting demo, connect with creative folks... If you REALLY want to become an actor - join local indie film artists and students now, and create content! Don't just wait for big Hollywood films to come to town, so you can be an invisible extra. ACT in local student projects! Also, if you have NO screen acting experience, but you truly BELIEVE that you have what it takes - COME and try out! The projects are 1 day (half a day) productions, sometimes in November (based on actors' availability). This is walk-in audition (cold read or short personal monologue - if desired). Bring: - headshot or picture; - acting resume; - other/optional (business card); Feel free to invite your actor friends. Join us! Note: SAG-AFTRA members are welcome, but they must prepare and coordinate union paperwork themselves. The beginner level students are not fully prepared (at this level) to handle advanced professional level producing duties, such as union contracts. Plus, the union requires paperwork well in advance. SAMPLE PROJECTS “3-2-1 Short Film Projects” are beginner level film productions featuring: 3 pages of scripted narrative, 2 actors, and shot on 1 location only. See samples below… https://vimeo.com/album/3233443 <https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2Falbum%2F3233443&…> Also, they will produce 30 second ads, PSAs, and more… See other samples below: https://vimeo.com/album/3215203 <https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2Falbum%2F3215203&…> ACTORS-WRITERS ! If you are screenwriter-actor, feel free to pitch your own idea or short script, BUT it must follow 3-2-1 formula: only 3 pages, only 2 characters in it, and only 1 shooting location! Bring printed pitches or scripts to audition QUESTIONS or REPLIES: do not reply to this email; go to our facebook site and JOIN event (and post any questions you might have)... LINK BELOW... https://www.facebook.com/events/1626993407570350/ THANKS!
