How to Succeed in Cold-Read Auditions
This day-long workshop teaches practical tools and techniques for actors to succeed in cold-reading auditions.
Explore status, given circumstances and relationships through cold-reading and improvisation.
Through improvisational exercises and scripted scene work, students will learn how to embody their character's status and make strong choices based on the given circumstances of contemporary material. Explore committing to the moment and staying in relationship to a scene partner.
The class culminates in a mock audition with feedback to help students identify their strengths and areas for improvement. By the end of the day, students will have developed their skills to approach cold reads with confidence, and to create dynamic and compelling audition performances.
