It’s time to figure it out: Auditioning and Self-taping are different.
During the best of times, auditioning on-camera can feel daunting. Add a global pandemic and the Industry changing how it engages with actors, and you may be feeling like your audition and self-tapes are impossible to crack. However, you have a unique opportunity right now to be inside (and ahead) of the change as the Industry embraces this new way of working.
As Zoom (along with online auditions, and self-tapes) has become the actor’s professional home, truth, specificity, and presence are the core of your work, now more than ever. NOW is the time for your craft and your audition practice to solidify. This requires letting go of exactness, of a need to control every piece of the work, of trying to be what “they’re looking for” and to “get it right.” It’s being brave enough to throw the rules and restrictions out the window.
What?
No matter what you’ve been told… just following some perceived prescription about auditioning or self-taping is the antithesis of showing up and being seen. Your best audition is actually a living, dynamic piece of work — happening in real time and moving your audience on an emotional level.
So… Be the actor who adopts a new way of auditioning and shows up on camera with presence, with ease, fully dropped into the story, all cylinders firing. Be the actor whose self-tape grabs the attention of every casting director, director, producer, and executive. Be the actor who books work consistently — no matter where in the world you are.
It’s so doable. And this class is going to show you how!
Over the course of 8 weeks, Corey will challenge you to hone in on your authentic voice and all the power YOU hold every time you show up for an audition or self-tape. You’ll explore the work right from where YOU are now, and acquire practical tools to level up your on-camera work by bringing your boldest, truest, most joyful self to every audition or self-tape. The best part? You’ll get ahead of the game by doing it in a new, intimate online classroom where the work is proving to be deeply personal, authentic, and present. Working this way has amazing possibilities. It’s what our new reality offers, and we’re embracing it fully!
Corey Parker has been at this awhile, and he’s dedicated to a process in which you learn to pivot in this new direction the Industry is calling for by letting go of old habits and trusting more than ever your authentic creative instincts. You are valuable as an actor, and finding where your unique voice meets every piece of material is your key to powerful work.
