Apply your Practical Audition Preparation skills each week with a different on camera audition. You will be recorded at least twice each session with feedback and coaching from the instructor for each playback. Open Q&A is invited and encouraged during class.
This ongoing class will give you the insights you can’t get in live auditions. Rarely will your agent or CD review your audition with you and point out how to improve your submission. By reviewing your auditions each week you will begin to eliminate unconscious behavior from your auditions and replace it with more positive traits that will improve your call back rate!
