Week 1: Co-Stars
Actors will prepare co-star auditions in class to identify key variables to highlight when auditioning for co-stars. How do you make strong choices based on minimal information? What ‘stands out’ when you only have one line?Week 2: Guest Stars
Actors will be assigned guest star scenes in advance of class to prepare and submit as a self-tape. We will review the scenes as a group, highlighting opportunities for storytelling, conflict, and relationships, all relative to the character’s responsibility in the plot of the episode.Week 3: Series Regulars
Actors will be assigned series regular scenes in advance of class to prepare and perform live in class over Zoom. This session will be run like a Zoom audition - actors will be given adjustments and feedback in the room. -
