Nicknamed “Don’t Be Afraid, It’s Only
Shakespeare”, the instructor will introduce actors to both the fundamental

So You Wanna be in Show Biz?
Acting for Auditions I
Acting
for auditions is vastly different from acting in a play. To be successful you
must learn how to market yourself and this is the last thing actor’s work on.
This 2-part workshop focuses on giving actors their most uniquely powerful
audition package; reversing the power structure, owning the audition and
discovering joy in the audition experience. Molly will give each participant
simple, direct tools to get immediate insight to creating the character which
can then be applied to any text. Actor’s will develop their entire
audition presentation; from preparation through entrance, through performance
and through the exit.
