schedule
Each actor should bring a picture and resume.
If you don't have one - bring a snapshot and staple to it a prepared, typed resume
using the examples in Acting Is Everything: An Actor's Guidebook for a Successful
Career in Los Angeles. These will be given to Mary Friday night and they will
help me pick your audition scenes for Sunday. Bring a VHS video tape with your
name boldly labeled on the binding of the tape to all of the classes. You may
also bring and use an audio tape recorder if you wish.
Saturday Morning 10AM to 12:30PM
Meet - prepare a 2 minute introduction of yourself
and then 30 seconds of what you hope to get out of the seminar. This is part of
your auditioning technique so have an upbeat, interesting, fast introduction "as
if" you are meeting a casting director or agent. I will comment on your presentation
of yourself.
Relaxation - acting with no guard, being open,
vulnerable with no defenses.
Emotion Exercise - Glad, mad, sad, glad.
Personalizing Exercise - "Who are you talking
to?"
Lunch 12:30 to 1:30
Saturday Afternoon 1:00PM to approximately
6:00PM
Pass out Sunday's Scripts. Most of you will
have partners so you can rehearse together if you wish but you will each individually
be shot on camera as if it were an audition, your partner will read off camera.
Day-Player roles on camera During these scenes
I will help each actor give a better performance or give them a direction to take
it a different way. Most of you will be doing it at least twice. There is much
to be learned by watching and hearing the direction of the other actors.
Time Permitting. we will start reviewing your
pictures and resumes.
Sunday Morning 10AM to 12:30PM
Meet and questions about auditioning.
Relaxation
Sensory Work explanation and exercise
