Do you want to feel like a real, actual, WORKING actor again? PAUSE on preparing to be an audition machine with Actor Therapy’s R&P (Rehearsal and Performance) Class.
CLASS STRUCTURE
CLASS 1: Students have a mock audition (as though auditioning for a musical revue of songs by that session’s composer[s]), singing from their own books and practicing a strategic audition (what songs do you pick to encourage the folx behind the table to see you for the material you see for yourself?) Students will then be “cast”* in two or more songs by the composer(s) and will be assigned that material to work on throughout the 5-week session. *Please note that all songs/roles are open to students of all gender identities.
CLASSES 2–5: Students will coach the material with Actor Therapy staff & special guest teachers, rehearse their final performance, and then present their material to a small audience of invited friends/family and guests from the Actor Therapy community.
WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS CLASS?
This class is ideal for early-career actors who are anxious to dig into work, who are looking to perform full songs in a more serious (but safe!) setting, who are looking to collaborate with other artists and to get new footage for their websites and social media.
