Is Your Comfort-zone Keeping You From Booking Roles?
Auditioning is competitive, and there are plenty of actors performing comfortably, leaving auditions and receiving the same feedback:
“It was good”.
But “good” auditions, means general choices.
Learn How to Stretch Your Comfort-zone to have an Exceptional Dynamic Performance, Instead of a General One!
Join the Casting Director known for not only working with huge production companies like Adam Sandler's "Happy Madison", but also discovering and launching the careers of amazing actors like Miley Cyrus and Emma Stone, Catherine Stroud!
Before the Class:
Scenes will be sent to students
Students are instructed to record their scene (like you would for a taped audition. iPhones are fine!)
We will send scenes & class info NOV 3rd Or you can chose one of your favorite Scenes to do.
Then you will upload it to a dropbox account by Thursday the 5th (we will give you access to account!)
CATHERINE WILL BE WATCHING SCENES PRIOR TO CLASS AND TAKING NOTES ON EACH ON
Online Webinar :
Catherine will start with the same Intro talk with students as she would regularly in class- parents are welcome and encouraged to join the session for this part of class!
Scenes will be played back over ZOOM & she will work with each participant live through the webinar on the notes from the uploaded scenes. (This way actors are still getting real time re-direction and notes, as well as the other students are still able to watch and see the notes given!)
Learn the mistakes Actor’s can make when auditioning that make their performance go unnoticed.
You Will Learn:
To build a STRONG character that casting and producers will notice and remember
How to zero in on tips from the writers to fully understand their intentions of the scene
Understanding what is it really about?
What role do you play in the scene?
How the other characters inform your performance
How to find the "Hot" choices not just good choices so you get booked
How to get past your comfort zone and discover new talents and expand as an actor
Have fun while learning & more!

“There are plenty of Hondas and Toyotas on the road, which are fine, but they’re general. Nobody notices. But when a bright red Lamborghini drives by thats when the heads turn. You need to be anything but general in the audition room. You need to be the Lamborghini. ”
