This is course designed to explore, demystify, practice and develop an actor’s audition technique. The difference between theatre and film is as evident as the difference between working in an audition and working on set. Understanding audition etiquette, preparation, delivery and taking direction are vital skills necessary for an actor to be a contender in the room. Screen Audition Training is designed to allow actors to explore these skills, practice and master their own unique audition technique.

Course components:

  • Understand the audition process both in the room and after.

  • Prepare and deliver a new screen test each week.

  • Understand various audition techniques, methods and approaches.

  • Understand, develop and practice your own unique audition preparation and delivery.

  • Practice taking direction and implementing feedback immediately without rehearsal.

  • Understand audition etiquette.

  • Understand script analysis and how to sell a scene as an audition.

  • Develop the ability to ‘break the frame’ and utilise the limitations of a screen test.

Course outcome:
Our goal is to create confident, mature and creative actors who are autonomous and professional in their work, whatever their ambitions may be.
