LA Audition Workshop – How to Overcome Audition Obstacles

June 20, 2011

Two-Week Audition Intensive with Paul Kampf

(Audition Workshop registration information)

There are a lot of workshops that cover WHAT a Casting Director/Director is looking for in the room, but this intensive teaches you HOW to achieve those objectives.

The audition is the hardest part of the acting process. You must:

* Create the illusion of a living scene in the confines of a chair

* Reveal something unique about your take on the character

* Show the base of a final product with only a short amount of time to prepare

As a director, I look for the signals in an actor’s audition/approach that indicate his or her potential on set. In my work as a coach I teach a process that leads to dramatic results in the audition and in your callback/booking rate.

It is not just what you technically do in the reading, but also HOW to apply techniques on a daily basis that make those technical requirements instinctual to you.

The Five Audition Obstacles:

* Heightened emotion
* Numerous Characters with a single reader
* Explicit action in the scene description
* Multiple scenes meshed into one audition
* Characters entering and exiting

In this two week intensive, you will gain the essential tools to apply to any audition situation. The work will ignite your creativity and inspire you to risk your way to a dynamic audition.

This intensive is limited to 15 participants. All participants will be given multiple scenes to prepare. All work will be videotaped for each participant’s personal use.

DATES: Tuesday, July 19th & 26th
TIME: 7-10:30pm
LOCATION: McCadden Theater, Hollywood (1157 North McCadden)
PRICE: $100 (participant) – $50 (audit)

Once you are registered, a PAYPAL invoice will be sent to you via email to hold your spot.

Award Winning Stage and Screen Actress Diane Venora on Paul’s teaching:

“His technique seems to be how the actor thinks, what he is feeling, sensitivity to his spirit, and loving. He has amazing discernment, wisdom and vision for his students. As a film and theatre director, he has the earned authority to suggest the best ways to act for camera which helps GET the actor the job. His actors book the job. That speaks for itself.

He is generous beyond what I have experienced in other teachers. He inspired me to go into an audition, as I had never experienced in my 32 years of working. He helped to eradicate my doubts and insecurities about auditioning again in one session.”
