Lacking confidence is an obvious road to failure, and having confidence is a necessary component to success. You need to know without a shadow of a doubt that you and your work are fully ready.
Lacking confidence will break you.
There are questions you need to ask yourself when you approach every monologue. Schools care about certain things more than others. Gain the knowledge you need and own your full audition flow!
You don't know what you don't know.
The process of preparing and auditioning for drama school is a lot. With everything else going on in life, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and negative and reinforce how hard everything is. Ward off worry with a strong community and accountability to make your dreams a reality!
Being a big ball of worry can create agony.
-
To honor and value your artistry, experience, and viewpoints.
-
To support and encourage you inside and outside of sessions, so you feel great about bringing WHO YOU ARE to the schools.
-
To provide quality feedback and plenty of notes to walk away with.
-
To give a clear idea of what schools are looking for.
-
To improve you as an actor.
What we promise
What we EXPECT
