Audition Training
If you are not booking enough jobs, or if you feel the industry does not see you, it is time to change your approach.
You have an upcoming audition and want to increase your odds of getting the job? Or simply want to become better and more confident at auditioning? This training is for you.
Today, casting directors seek more than just acting skills.
Auditioning is about showing who you truly are.
Because you’re never auditioning for one part but for many. Most actors play a character in an audition, assuming that's what the casting director wants.
The truth is, casting directors and directors don’t know what they are looking for. But they know it when they see it. When an actor shows up and adds value to the story with their unique, authentic personality. And everybody asks, “Who is that?”
So, what makes you unique? Most likely, it’s all those things you don’t like about yourself and try to hide. What you see as a weakness is precisely what makes you special and stand out.
In audition training, you discover how to nurture the unique qualities that only you can bring to the world. Let’s show them something they have not seen before: your authentic, vulnerable, powerful, and charismatic self. It is what makes you a star.
“Every scene is a love scene.” - Michael Shurtleff, Casting Director on Broadway.
The Scene
The most common mistake actors make is playing the scene as written. This prevents them from standing out and setting them apart from the competition.
What you're reading isn't truly the scene because the scene is never just the scene, and words seldom reflect the truth.
All scenes center around one core theme: Love.
It’s the goal we pursue in every moment of our lives. Actors who get cast use this technique to connect with the audience and the casting directors. They seek love, hope, and humor in every scene. It’s what we do in life. It’s how you book the job.
