ON-CAMERA ACTING, SCENE STUDY & MONOLOGUE WORKSHOP - LEVEL II Age 13 yrs. & up
(Pre-Requisite: On-Camera Acting & Audition Techniques Level I)
In this four-week advanced acting workshop, students will build upon the foundation established in the On-Camera Level I class. The focus will be on selecting and preparing a monologue for on-camera auditions (for agent or manager representation and/or for auditions with casting directors or other auditions that may require a monologue). The actors will also participate in more intensive scene study and character development exercises, cold reads for auditions using both commercial copy and sides from scripts and challenging improvisation exercises.

This workshop is an excellent way for actors to continue to hone their craft and may be taken on a regular basis to keep their skills fine-tuned and audition-ready.
