This course is the pre-professional training that acting and directing students need to prepare them for graduate school and job pursuits. Actors will explore the skills and techniques that encourage effective auditioning. For them, the class will focus on personal preparation, script analysis, cold reading, effective interview techniques, receiving directorial adjustments, and monologue work. Resume preparation and headshot selection will also be touched upon. For directors, the class will guide each student through the process of creating their own directing portfolio and resume. Both actors and directors will develop the flexibility and confidence to handle actual job interviews and auditions.
Hours credit: 4. Prerequisite: THTR 1123 or 2233. Alternate years.
