Do your monologues show what you can do as an actor?

Based on my book THE MONOLOGUE AUDITION (a Backstage must-read) this is the only class that teaches you not only how to ACT your monologues with truth and connection with “the wall”,  but also to

• CHOOSE monologues that are a great fit for you and for the specific audition
• DIRECT your monologues with staging that’s fun to do and to watch
• AUDITION well by handling your non-acting moments with confidence and ease.

The class completely solves common problems like:

• Not knowing what to do with your hands and body
• Losing your connection in the middle of acting your monologue
• Feeling awkward when introducing yourself and chatting in the room
• Being unsure of how much or how little to move
• Feeling overwhelmed or confused about what kind of material you should do

Here’s a detailed breakdown of what we cover. You’ll be able to check off EVERYTHING on this list after my 4 week class. How many can you check off now?
