Auditioning is stressful for almost any actor, but the more you practice auditioning, the easier it gets! This class will help students learn how to find a monologue to audition with, how to prepare for an audition, and how to put their best foot forward in the audition room. Students will receive assistance selecting a monologue, and have the opportunity to practice their monologue in front of their peers and receive instructor feedback. This class is a great way for both the experienced actor and newbie actor gain confidence in their audition skills.
