Tim Phillips On Camera Audition Technique Class:

This is a practical Nuts & Bolts approach to Crafting your Auditions for the Camera.  It's geared towards Working Professionals who are looking to glean all the information possible from their Audition material as quickly and effectively as possible.  Emphasis is placed on Script Interpretation through Tim‘s Technique of “Sherlock Holmesing” the text & Character Analysis.  This includes Crafting of the First Moment, Relationships to Persons, Places, Things and Events and Social Dictates.  This will become clear from doing a Working Audit of the class.   We structure the class much like a Callback Audition situation with Tim giving Adjustments and Direction based on the material at hand, this allows students to learn from one another in a supportive & positive environment.  We liken On Camera Audition Technique class to working out at the gym in preparation for current and future auditions.
