Winning the Audition

Intermediate/Advanced - Online

  • 8 Sundays* at 10 am Pacific

  • Begins June 15

  • Limit 8 actors

This class is not simply about the dos and don’ts of recording your audition, but emphasizes creating job-getting performances - delivering an audition package that grabs attention immediately, maintains impact, and contains surprises throughout.  Along with organic work, Winning the Audition delivers numerous approaches and a few “tricks” to make sure that you stand out from the pack.   

Topics covered include script analysis, emotional preparation, using the reader, effective framing and focus points, scenic transitions and structure, risking and confidence, the slate, frame size, vulnerability, the invisible partner, etc.  We will also cover the callback - both Zoom and in person – making the most out of those casting director/director adjustments.

Each week (beginning in week three) you will be given a selection of sides to shoot and share with your online class. You will get weekly feedback and notes to keep you moving forward, gaining the confidence and knowledge needed to nail it when it counts.

Primary focus is, of course, on the self-recorded audition - these types of auditions and will be crucial for film and television for the foreseeable future.

Testimonials

"Most acting classes offer scene study and critique, but it is much more unusual to run into someone who is willing and able to guide the actor through several scenes from a feature-length script, with cameras, in order to create the experience of developing a character in a real film. This difference has clearly made a difference — at least if the performances I observed at Maravilla are any indications. The talent on display was noticeable, but even more impressive was the discipline, as well as the strong sense of an entire cast and crew working as a team. Come to think of it, the best analogy would be to an actual film set, which is, I suppose, the point."
