Acting for Auditions with Avi Simon

 

 

 

ACTING FOR AUDITIONS with Avi Simon
Thursdays 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm

Veteran acting coach and manager Avi Simon has helped countless actors book jobs in TV, film, and theater.

His practical technique approaches auditions from two angles:

·       Work on the script -- analyze your character and scenes to determine how they contribute to the overall success of the script.

·       Work on the self -- find out how YOU can most effectively fulfill these demands to help make the project a success.

Students will get their own personalized coaching session each class to address their particular needs.  This is not a cookie-cutter approach.  Thoughtful and caring guidance will help each actor achieve their unique potential.  You will learn how to:

·       Understand the purpose of your role in the script so that you can emphasize the needs of the story

·       Listen and respond truthfully

·       Make active choices that you’re excited about playing

·       Show off your unique qualities so that you'll stand out

·       Find ways to bring out the humor in the scenes

·       Work on specific moments that will help you land the job

Get sides emailed to you in advance, bring your own material, or get sides at class.

The class will also address the differences between many kinds of audition situations, including pre-reads vs. producer sessions, Film vs. TV vs. theater, auditions on tape, monologues, cold readings vs. prepared scenes, and improv auditions.
