Monthly Acting Bits

 

When auditioning, remember to have your first line memorized and always ask for a couple of beats if the casting director or reader has the first line.  At the end of your audition (theatrical or commercial), when the dialogue has ended, before the Casting Director is about to stop the recording, make sure you have closure for your last moment. This is done by asking yourself, “what would my character be thinking, feeling or doing if the scene were to continue”.

ACTORS


          Are you not performing at your highest potential? Do you second guess yourself before and after an audition?

 

         Learn a new practical acting system in Actors Preference℠and Actors Expression℠, unique & personal to you, upon which you will build the foundation to become a well rounded actor. Utilize Dusa’s 16 Levels, a step by step approach to guide you through character creation & transformation allowing you the best chance to make the final cut.  Destructive Preference℠ is an uninhibited exploration of the degree of the pathology & the manifestation of destructive behavior not only for characters but also for ones self.

 

 

WRITERS


          When on "assignment" (either for yourself - a spec, or for a producer with or without a director), have you identified the "preferences" of that party in reaching their goals? When you are working in T.V. or film, are the notes plot-driven or are they about character deficiencies or weak dialogue? Only by identifying and really understanding what your "partners" are looking for and WHY, can you then begin to make changes on the page that they will respond to.

 

          Use Writers Preference℠ to fine tune your script. Learn how to create character specific dialogue. This workshop encompasses all areas of scriptwriting, from development to treatment to coverage to script analysis to pitching, and focuses on creating characters in their specific qualities. Learn to better understand producers notes without taking it personal.
