This theatre text is not a typical shake-and-bake manual of quickie tips on how to have a good audition. No other book puts auditioning in the context of acting training. The nuts and bolts are all here, but this book will do much more. It will systematically develop audition and acting skills throughout the actor's study and career. This book is, first and foremost, an acting text. It shows auditioning as another acting performance, not a technical exercise or a desperate attempt to highlight every actor's skill or talent. It is a step-by-step guide for training young actors to audition well by developing acting skills. Includes more than sixty relevant acting exercises or "explorations," fourteen sample audition pieces from contemporary playwrights, and a wealth of other resource material-an all-encompassing audition text.
