EXPERIENCED ACTORS & RETURNING STUDENTS: AUDITION TECHNIQUE & SCRIPT ANALYSIS

This is a high-intensity, practical class designed for actors who already have some experience and want to sharpen their skills and book more work. Think of it as your personal audition gym: repetition, feedback, and refinement.

We focus exclusively on:

  • Current, real auditions filming right here in Alberta (and sometimes beyond)

  • Script analysis and character deconstruction

  • Uncovering subtext, layers, and motivations

  • On-camera audition mastery: eyelines, camera angles, stillness, subtle choices, and naturalism

  • Recording and reviewing takes repeatedly to build muscle memory and confidence

Every session is spent working on fresh sides, getting immediate notes, and filming multiple versions of the same audition. You’ll leave each class with polished, professional footage and actionable improvements you can apply immediately.

This class is all about practice, repetition, and results—no theory, just work.
