Scene & Audition Lab is a weekly live online class built around scripts. Each session, you work on scenes from real screenplays, rehearse with other actors and get direct notes on your choices.
Bring what you're working on. If you have an audition coming up, run your lines in the room and try different approaches before the day. If you're preparing a self-tape, we'll work on framing, pace and the choices that make casting directors keep watching. You can also send a tape before class and get feedback in the session.
We practise cold reading, so sides you've just been handed don't throw you, and help you build two or three monologues you can rely on for meetings and showcases. Throughout, we focus on choices as well as performance: what the scene needs, and how to show range in a short audition.
Once a month, actors join a table read with writers from Screenwriting 101 and Horror Screenplay Writing. Writers hear their dialogue out loud, and actors get new material to work with.
Classes run on Sundays and are capped at eight actors, so everyone works every week. Buy a 4-class pass or drop in for a single class.
