Directors, Casting Directors, EPs and Showrunners are not waiting for the well-rehearsed, slick, appropriate person to walk through the door. Rather, they seek out the dynamic, animated, moment-to-moment actor who is always surprising and in the “now.” The actor who acts from impulse. The actor who acts from necessity in the moment. The actor capable of real and living behavior during the recording and in the audition room.
Dirty Acting, working on impulse during your auditions, also eliminates self-consciousness, stale performance, and destructive concerns about auditor judgment. Each audition becomes a true experiment, an improv with text. Experience the exhilaration and deep satisfaction only a “dirty audition” can bring. Then make it your habit!
After introducing and working the concept through exercises and experiments with material, participants will practice on-camera Dirty Auditioning on a weekly basis with real sides from real shows. And, of course, plenty of indispensable audition tips are covered as well.

N.B. All courses progress in a logical and consecutive sequence. Furthermore, students are frequently turned away once the maximum number of participants has been reached. For these reasons, students who begin the session agree to complete the entire session and are, therefore, financially responsible for that session.
"He taught more than any other teacher I had . . . is responsible for creating the kind of actor I am today. He taught me how to truly take risks in my work, invest authentically in my characters, and expect nothing but professionalism from myself and my colleagues. Peter’s standards were high and exacting, and as a student, I was thrilled to be held to them. It was the first time I had been treated like an actor, not just as a student. The method that Peter taught is still one that I use today – he gave me the tools to access, emotionally and intellectually, very dense material. He allowed me to see that with every character, every piece there is always a way that is deeper and truer than you first imagine.”Julianne Moore, Actress
