SYNOPSIS

Chicago, IL

This two hour class will include a Q&A and a prepared reading session with an experienced casting professional. 

Everyone will be sent the same audition scene (men get one scene, women get another) a few days before class. One by one, you will "audition" for Tineka day of. She will be your reader. Tineka will also be putting you on tape. Just like in a real audition scenario, she may (or may not) give you an adjustment and have you do the scene a 2nd time. Once everyone has had a chance to do their scene, everyone will come back into the room and you will watch back all the "auditions", and discuss what works, what doesn't, who popped and why, who might get a callback from this audition, etc. Tineka finds that it's a great learning tool for actors to see multiple approaches to the same material.
