Designed for actors of all ages preparing classical auditions, seeking sharper verse work, or wanting honest, expert guidance in a supportive setting.
Are you interested in building your audition portfolio? Looking for feedback to strengthen your audition and your Shakespeare monologue? Perhaps looking for coaching to sharpen your audition piece as you apply to graduate school? Join us for the Shakespeare on the Sound's Audition Masterclass! Join Executive Producer Aaron Simms and Director of Education Stephanie Eiss for a 4-hour [Perhaps shortening it to 2 or 3? I guess depending on enrollment, and if there is enough interest we could do two sessions. Unless you have 4 hours of activities planned. Let's chat about this] workshop designed to explore, refine, and deepen your audition materials for Shakespeare productions and beyond.
Participants will present one prepared Shakespeare monologue (preferably 90 seconds or less) in a professional audition environment. You will receive direct, constructive feedback and insight from the casting authority at Shakespeare on the Sound. You will have fun exploring the text, putting your best self forward, and learn from observing others in the masterclass.
Wear comfortable clothing that you can move around in.
Participants will also be invited to sign up for audition appointments for Shakespeare on the Sound’s 2027 summer mainstage show, regardless of Equity status!
Max attendees: 15
Duration: 3 hours
