The Monologue: Selection and Strategy:
Dive deep into the world of auditioning for theater in this monologue workshop for all experience levels. We’ll be answering the question “What makes a good monologue?” Learn how to select a monologue, techniques to cultivate it, and tips and tricks of the trade that will make you a standout in your next open call! Intended for performers of all experience levels, whether you’re just dipping your toe into the theater world, or you’re an old pro looking to spruce up your portfolio. Theater practitioner Witt Tarantino will guide you through the woes and fears of the solo performance, no prep required!
Monologue Diagnostics: Workshop and Feedback:
Build upon the lessons learned in The Monologue: Selection and Strategy, or come in with a brand new piece you’re just dying to have someone else’s eye on! In this diagnostic, students will have the opportunity to get direct, live feedback on their audition pieces. Gain practice performing in front of strangers, receiving and applying audition panel-esque feedback, and learn to find ease as soon as you walk through the door of your next audition room. Students are encouraged to bring copies of their headshots and resumes for additional evaluation if wanted. To get the fullest out of this experience, workshop goers should come prepared with a memorized and worked audition piece that they intend to use in an audition context.
