Audition Tips for Aspiring Actors
Maybe you were a band kid but you always looked at the theatre kids and wondered what that was all about. Maybe you did some plays in high school but you want to get back into it. Maybe you're reaching a turning point in your life and just want to do something different. Wherever you are in life, acting is a great way to explore the various shades of your personality. But auditioning for a play or film project? Yikes. So scary, right? It doesn't have to be. Amy Crowl will work through the basics of how to find auditions near you, choosing a monologue, determining your character type(s), and cold readings. Performers will leave with a potential audition piece and skills they can apply in their next (or first!) audition. Participants are encouraged to bring their own monologues they're interested in working on, or Amy will provide resources to find one during the workshop. An internet-capable device is encouraged, along with comfy shoes and a spirit of risk taking.
