ABOUT MY MONOLOGUE TECHNIQUE
This class gets you up on your feet and DOING—instead of in your head thinking about ‘the right’ way to do it :)
It’s 3 techniques in one: I show you how to DIRECT your monologue—create fun, specific staging that tells your story and is fun to do and fun to watch. Your nerves will decrease because your body will know what to do at each moment. Your staging can then be adjusted to any size performance—from theater to self-tape. When you know your monologue is specifically directed, you can really let go and ACT your monologue. We use elements of the Practical Aesthetics acting technique that show you how to act a monologue with truth and connection—even without a partner. AUDITION technique empowers you to handle every non-acting moment of an audition—entering the room, slating, chatting, and exiting—with confidence and ease. This is the authentic skill set you need for auditions, and also for interviews, public speaking, and walking the red carpet.
P.S. All these callbacks are from EPAs where I had to do a monologue. Your class works.
