For this Master Class, please prepare your best TWO 32 BAR CUTS and bring your book as Dale may want to hear something additional. The evening will start off with a Q & A, and then each actor will perform for Dale using your prepared material in a group format. He will coach, give direction and offer possible recommendations of material to "check out" if what you are currently using doesn't "work".

This is truly an amazing opportunity! Register now as this Master Class will sell out fast!
