Mock Audition Workshop

You could be the most talented actor in the room, but if you don’t know how to audition, you’ll never get the part. That is why Quinn Showell (Casting Director for Halle Berry’s ‘Bruised’, Kevin Smith’s ‘Clerks III’, ‘Maybe I Do’ and more) is inviting you to spend 6 weeks with him to learn the craft of successful auditioning. In this workshop, you will learn how to audition by doing just that; running through a series of mock auditions. Each week, you will receive different sides to memorize and prepare in a short amount of time, and then perform them in front of an actual casting director before receiving valuable critiques. Ever wonder what the casting directors want to see? Now you can find out.

Sessions are 2 hours per week for 6 weeks. 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
