The POWER In The AUDITION
One
of the utmost important skills to learn, if you are seeking a serious
career in the acting profession is the art of auditioning.Theses are
serious skills needed to be learned, if you are to get above the
competition. As a matter of fact, if learned well, there really isn't
any competition. Strong statement, We know BUT IT'S WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW THAT IS HOLDING YOU BACK.
What
most actors do, if they are experiencing little to no success at
auditions, is blame their lack of success on everything else, except the
short comings in their abilities. Rule of thumb in ANY walk of life.
is "IF YOU KEEP DOING THINGS THE SAME WAY, YOU WILL CONTINUE GETTING THE SAME" RESULTS". It makes absolutely no sense to think otherwise.
There are, oh so may ways of losing an audition that has absolutely nothing to do with how good or untrained an actors you are.
In some on-camera situations the colors that you wear could be a problem
Patterns and jewelry that you wear could be a problem
The countless ways you upstage yourself , so you disapear
The various ways an experienced actor will upstage you or get you to do it to yourself
How height differences between you and your partner need to be understood and compensated for
How to properly slate, which is more than saying your name and agent
How to handle yourself when you first walk in and greet the auditor
How to interpret the script
The moment before you start speaking your lines
Best times to schedule your auditions
How to handle the Call back
How to Prepare
The differences between performing a monologue or script with a partner an actual performance opposed in an audition situation
Auditioning with someone who gives you no more than a broom handle
Controlling the audition opposed to it controlling you.
The differences in techniques of an industrial script, opposed to film, commercial and stage scripts.
The importance of the time signature in commercial scripts
Overcoming your fears and ways of using them to your advantage.
The many ways of effectively marketing yourself
Your image
Your head shots
Your resumes and what not to list on it.
Finding the right agent for you and working effectively with that agent
Not relying entirely on an agent to move your career forward.
Being ahead of the game.
and much much more.
Now
seriously ask yourself, are you ready to stop making excuses and find
out what you don't know and just continuing doing things the same way
and making excuses, like?
i probably wasn't the right type.
I was the wrong age.
They keep hiring their favorites.
The agent or auditor was rude
They don't know a good thing if it hit them in the head.
I fumbled this or that.
That jerk I auditioned with screwed everything up.
My agent didn't tell me this or that.
My agent doesn't send me out enough
This business is so hard to make it.
Wow! they said they really liked me and what I did, why didn't they call?
and so on.
Stop
learning and repeating bad habits like the general pool of actors out
there. Start acquiring more productive ones. that will lead to finally
doing away with the frustrations that most everyone is experiencing.
Those others are just clueless and flying by the seat of their pants
You now have that chance to get serious and finally find out and learn what it is you don't know.
The Chicago Actors Studio is starting their coveted, annual
"Audition Power & Marketing Workshop"
on Sunday, June 24th 2012
2040 North Elston Ave.
Chicago, IL 60614 (773)645-0222
This
will be one of the most informative, complete and comprehensive and
rare training events, that you have ever taken. What makes it even more
sensational is, that during this series, you will also be given training
on the important skills of the "Ear Prompter" Plus, towards the end of
the series, the class members chose a scene partner and a scene that
they would like to do. Then each set of partners are taken out to
professionally shoot that scene on location, as is done in the
professional world. After a professional editing job, music, special
effects etc, it will look as it was an actual movie. You may use the
clip for your professional promotion DVD that the teacher will help put
together or load it up on your web sites, youtube etc., for prospective
casting people to view.
The series is a limited on-going series taught is 6week sections.
AND what is even greater about it all, it's something you will actually be able to afford.
The cost in ONLY $214 per each 6weeks, at one night (Sunday) per week. If you are a registered student at The Chicago Actors Studio the cost is even lower yet! ONLY $144 for the 6 weeks.
We
strongly suggest, that before you even think about going out and
registering with a professional agent, you should take an audition
workshop somewheres. For it is basically no trick to initially register
with an agency the first time. But if they find out that you
don't really know what you are doing and not winning auditions, they
will stop sending you out. It will be next to impossible to go back and
re-register, after you have gotten some training. After all, when you
initially registered, were you not telling them that you are bookable
and know what you are doing? Why should they put themselves out again
and believe you the second time? They have to pay their bills too, and
live off the commissions when the actor gets booked. If you were them,
wouldn't you rather send out those that you know may win.
This is it. actors! If you're serious about your dream. This is it!
call 773-645-0222 and register, space is of course limited.
