Overview of class

This course will focus on building audition and career skills for the acting artist. In a hands-on, participatory learning environment students will conduct research and share casting director, agent and talent management information to build a classroom Rep Resource Guide, receive feedback on mock auditions with monologues and scenes, set up trial photo sessions, do self-tapes, and prepare an audition kit that includes the best outfit, headshot and material that represents the artist. We will discuss contracts, casting websites, and how to map out a safe and healthy path to navigate the entertainment business. Students will also prepare for on-line auditions and showcases.
