Saturday, November 3, 2018, 12pm ET / 9am PT

This event is in the past.

Are your monologues getting you results? Why are you doing a particular monologue and what result is it intended to produce?

In this 4 week class, you'll be given and intensely coached on TWO new monologues selected especially for you by Brian.

You'll also learn: who will be casting what on stage in New York up to two years in advance; how to target writers and directors directly; PLUS what you need to know about photos, resumes and other tools of the trade. Participants will learn how to approach their careers in a new way-and create quality opportunities for themselves.

Brian also encourages members of the class to bring in monologues that are of interest to see if they might be a good fit.

This class is limited to 10 actors.

Over 2,000 actors have found representation and work after being coached by Brian.

For the first class, please prepare a Contemporary Monologue 2 minutes or less in length-it doesn't need to be memorized. In addition, upload your headshot and create a resume in your online account upon registration.

"As someone who took a break from performing and just getting back into it, he understands how to pull the best out of you while making you feel totally comfortable." -Carlos Ponton

"Brian is fantastic. He was able to hear us read once and pinpoint monologues that fit all of our personalities and types perfectly. I had not been comfortable with my previous monologues and I'm leaving feeling ready to take on auditions again. This class was a godsend." -Meg Halcovage

"I really enjoyed Brian's monologue class. Not only did I get TWO really good monologues out of this class, but I also learned how to choose the right monologue for particular audition purposes. I would highly recommend it to anyone!" -Porter Pickard

"Brian has the ability to make the right monologue open doors for actors at all levels. While many can be intimidated by the daunting task of fine-tuning a monologue that's right for them, Brian's monologue workshop makes it easy. His one-on-one scene coaching has been vitally important to me, and now I see that his monologue coaching is priceless. I highly recommend it!" -Stephen Gregory, Dr. Kyle Beresford, Law & Order: SVU

"I wanted to say "thank you" again for a wonderful 6 weeks. It was the most useful, informative and practical workshop I've ever taken; I feel much less intimidated by both performing and finding monologues. In addition to being inspired by the monologues you recommended for me, I was intrigued by monologues you gave to other people and have been thinking about past scenes I've done in acting class and realizing that there are monologues I could mine from them. I am also hugely grateful that you included all the discussions about the business side of this profession. I appreciate it because first and foremost it puts me in a greater position of control with regards to my career, and secondly because your information streamlines and prioritizes all the various components of the acting business. I am much clearer about the most efficient places to spend my time and energy and am looking forward to implementing your advice in the months ahead." -Melissa Macleod Herion
