The class is assisted by professional actor, producer and award-winning filmmaker Clarissa Cozzoni.

 

"We change actors' approach to auditions, empowering them with trusting their instincts, being themselves, and never again fearing to make the "wrong choice" in their approach to the roles," he said.  "We also expose that most actors prepare incorrectly for the audition, and then provide a technique that will make auditioning so much more fun, less stressful and a lot more successful."

 

The class is open to beginning or advanced actors aged 18 and up.
