Friday, January 10, 2020, 7pm ET / 4pm PT
This event is in the past.
Each week will build on the last and all sessions will be on-camera. The course will start off with a week of monologues so Judy can get a "feel" for your type as well as an opportunity to focus on each actor's individual on-camera habits and how this could affect your audition. Week 2 you'll work on cold sides and in week 3 you'll be emailed film sides to prepare in advance working with readers, scene partners, blocking and rehearsing your sides, all on camera. The final week will be a final "performance" replicating a final studio "test".
For the first class, please prepare a Contemporary Monologue 2 minutes or less in length. In addition, upload your headshot and create a resume in your online account upon registration.
** YOU MUST BE AVAILABLE FOR ALL 4 OF JUDY'S CLASSES AS YOU WILL BE WORKING IN PAIRS **
Assigned sides will be emailed 1-3 days in advance from Judy. Please bring in TWO copies of your sides to EACH CLASS - one for you, and one for your reader (with the reader's lines highlighted).
If you've taken Judy's class before, she asks that you wait at least 18 months before taking it again.
PLEASE NOTE: You must be available to attend all four classes as requested by Judy. No make-ups allowed.
Always bring a hardcopy of your headshot/resume to class for feedback purposes.
Scenes will be recorded on-camera and made available to you within one week. An email notification will be sent from videos@actorsconnection.
