The world of auditioning has transformed over the last several years. Many auditions for theater, film, musicals and television, even for college and graduate school entry, are self-taped, instead of in-person. This audition technique class is more relevant for professional preparation than ever before, and is led by Marcus Giamatti, a 35-year still-working actor whose credits include Judging Amy, The X-Files, Homicide: Life on the Street, Monk, The Mentalist, House M.D. and Criminal Minds.
This in-depth and comprehensive class will cover all aspects of the audition process, preparing students to have a more confident, relaxed approach to in-person auditioning. Using Stanislavsky’s 5 Questions and Emotional Empathy, students will explore how to build characters from their own unique experiences. They will score a monologue for meaning, beats, shifts, intentions and discovery through the language in the text, and then practice those monologues in a mock audition setting. Students will also read scenes from chosen scripts, with the instructor, Marcus Giamatti (a life-long, still auditioning and working actor in theatre, film and TV), serving as the reader.
For more information, email education@thefulton.org or call 717-394-7133 x105.
