Audition Techniques prepares students for careers in the entertainment industry by building audition skills.

Audition settings will vary from season generals to prepared readings, from live callbacks with a reader to video submissions for theatrical work, as well as film, commercial, and voice over audition formats. In-class discussions will include union affiliation, agencies, management, graduate schools, internships, and major city market comparisons. A studio fee covers headshot session with professional photographer.
