Good script analysis is key to booking work!!

Impress Casting Directors with masterful auditions based on your analysis of the script – even with a cold read.

Getting the job is so often harder than actually doing the job. In order to book work you must be able to pick up a script and make interesting, intelligent, and memorable choices for a character – often on the spot. Being able to identify and break down a script takes knowledge, training and experience.

In this four-week class you will learn how to find the important units of action in a scene. What does your character want and how does he/she go about getting it? What actions might your character take? What is your relationship with the other characters? How does your character change from beginning to end? Are the things my character says true or not true? What are the given circumstances & the imaginary circumstances? What is the “moment before”? What are the rhythms of the scene?

We will also focus on acting as conversation – how does what you say affect your scene partner & how does what they say affect you – listening and responding honestly is key. We will begin with monologues and work into scenes – rehearsing them with, and for, the camera.
