Auditioning for the Camera
8-Week Class / 2 Camera Studio
7-10pm
Today, all film and television auditions are “taped.” This on-camera auditioning course will focus on a range of auditions from the feature film audition and its “callback” to episodic auditions, sitcoms, under 5 “soap” and of course the dreaded ”self-tape.”
Too often actors feel that if they are “connected” to the material, the rest will “read” on camera. And too often that is not the case. What do you the actor need to be technically and artistically aware of so that your performance is “protected” and “reads” on camera? This course will be devoted to the artistic and technical demands of on camera auditioning.
I will cover auditioning basics (relationship, objective, slating etc), camera related tools (“focus” and “energetic continuity”), as well as room dynamics (your entrance and exit and the one on one interview both in person and on Zoom).
The course goal is to give the actor the confidence and tools necessary to book the job. Because we all know, it’s not always the best actor that gets the part. But the best “auditioner.”
