Pre-screen auditions and final auditions are just around the corner. How prepared are you? Do you know who you’re singing to? Why you’re singing to them? Where are you? What happened right before? Many of you may be freaking out and don’t feel prepared, etc. Don’t worry, I’m here to help. I’ve been coaching, directing, acting, and teaching professionally for the past 15 years in NYC, Chicago and Cleveland. I have a proven track record and high success rate of getting students into the best colleges, landing the role they’ve been preparing to audition for, and gaining confidence in their own process and ability. This process will include pre-screen and final audition etiquette, identifying given circumstances, i.e. who are you singing to? Why are you singing? What do you want? Etc. We will be identifying and solidifying a solid pre beat for each of your songs, the “moment before,” what provides the transition from the student into the character? We will be making character adjustments, both physical and psychological, when required, employing the techniques of Stanislavski, Michael Chekhov, Kristen Linklater, Meisner, Grotowski, to name a few. The goal will be to provide a way of working that is individual and specific to each student. In short, they will learn a process that works for them, so that they may apply the process to future roles and auditions by themselves. I’d love to help you fine tune your pieces so that you feel confident and comfortable for your auditions. Don’t let yourself get in your own way.
