Audition Frustrated? LET IT GO! LET IT GO!

AUDITION TIP OF THE DAY - When preparing for an audition, learn to let go of booking the job. Look at it as a "one night only" performance. What's missing from a lot of auditions is the prep work so they loose confidence. You are confident when you are rehearsed, so curtain up, bow, and leave the theater. If you get called in to perform it as an encore/callback, then great. If you book the big shiny produced show kudos. Your goal is to book the office. More auditions will come your way. But let it Gooooo Let it Gooo! ‪#‎auditiontechnique‬ ‪#‎workingactor‬ ‪#‎castingworkshops‬ ‪#‎frozen‬ ‪#‎hollywood‬

CAMP is not bad acting, it's great acting heightened.

People know me from CHICO'S ANGELS or Julie Brown's HOMECOMING QUEEN so I've been dealing in camp for a while. One reviewer saw my WOMEN BEHIND BARS and called me a "Camp Specialist". So I've decided to to be a specialist and help others learn the style. I've had many actors over the years audition for my productions thinking it's just bad acting they need to delivery and it will be funny. Not so. It's some of the most committed moment to moment work with heightened stakes. Depending on the piece the faster and louder it goes the better. By believing in something that's already hard to believe, you can make anything funny. For instance if i were playing the most beautiful woman in the world, an audience would visually see that is not true, but if I believed it and committed to that character's wants and desires then it would be funny and the audience will follow me into the story. If i winked at the audience and laughed at myself, it may get a laugh, but then it can't sustain a character journey or a two act play. That would lack stakes and a character arc.
A great example of commitment to study is Grayson Hall in Dark Shadows. She wasn't trying to be funny, she was trying to jam pack all these emotions into a half hour TV show. Yes Melodrama and Camp are similar in style, but that's for another blog. Let's enjoy watching an actress commit to the work.

Hey gang! As you may know I started working in Casting again this year and I've picked up a lot great insight on what gets the callback and other details that loose the audition all together. I've been coaching auditions privately on and off for years, but I wanted to teach a class that actually stretches that audition muscle every week. We are taught how to act in college and scene classes, but if you can't audition you can't work. Each class you will be given sides in advance for a guest star and a co-star to prepare. We will go over prepping techniques and audition execution. This is only a class

THE ACTOR PREPS class is every Tuesday at 7:30 in Burbank starting Feb 10th. Sign up for the group of 4 or 8 for only $100 a month.

10545 Burbank Blvd
#202
North Hollywood CA 91601
This is not a cold reading class.
