How do you set yourself apart in an audition? How do you serve the text while still making bold choices? Sometimes our efforts to stand out take us away from the story being told, or we stay general because we're just not sure how to make it our own, or worse, we think we're being specific when we're not. This workshop will help you assess your own process and give you new tools to meeting a role's need for specificity. You will learn to find hidden clues in the script, use your uniqueness to create specific characters, and discover ways to be even more present in the audition.  

This is a hands-on in-person workshop based on the principles Michael presented in this PTEOE presentation "The Art of Specificity".  Watching the video is not mandatory but will give you a good foundation for this workshop. A few members will be asked from the audience to work at the front of the room. You may bring a prepared scene or monologue if you wish to volunteer.
