One of the most challenging things I see actors face in the current TV/Film audition system is having to use the character development skills they learn in acting technique classes for their Self-Tapes in a compressed amount of time with limited information.
When an audition comes into an actor’s inbox, they don’t have the weeks or even months they have in a classroom to discover and explore a character. They might only have days or even hours. They often need to do extensive script analysis and project research without the in-person guidance of other creatives working on the project to bring to life a character that thus far has only existed on the page.
What I cover in this workshop:
-
Working Quickly with Limited Information
-
Knowing Yourself
-
Importance of Context
-
Point of View
-
Physicalization
-
Making Choices
-
Using Backstory
-
