DID YOU DO WELL IN YOUR LAST SELF TEST AUDITION?
68% of actors create unlikeable characters
50% of actors create antagonist characters
THOSE WERE THE FINDINGS THAT RESULTED FROM OUR FIRST SELF TEST AUDITION WORKSHOP.
If your audience doesn't like your character why would they want to watch your story!!
If you create unlikeable characters why would a Casting Director cast you!!
What makes a character unlikeable?
How do you create a likeable one?
That's what we explore in WEBINAR 2. VIEW HERE
In our first 'eye-popping' Webinar "ANATOMY OF A SELF TEST AUDITION" we saw that 68% of actors fell into a basic self test trap. If you don't know what the trap is ... you will fall into it, too!!!
ENROL NOW - DON'T DELAY

TESTING OUT THE REMEDIES
Every problem needs a remedy. Now that we know what the problem is, in Webinar 2 we will test out remedies. That's what The Rehearsal Room does best - we find fabulously practical techniques that are really effective at lifting the quality of a performance.
HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS ...
- ON SATURDAY (in Webinar 1) we discovered a significant SELF TEST TRAP for actors and began suggesting remedies.
- ON SUNDAY in our Drop In Session one actor tested out a remedy she had worked out. The result ... huge improvements in the performance outcomes. She got a lot better.
- ON TUESDAY in an evening class another actor tried his remedy for the problem. The result ... huge improvements in performance outcomes. He got a lot better.
- ON SATURDAY, in Webinar 2 you can be part of the next level of testing of these exciting concepts. ENROL NOW.
MAKING BETTER DECISIONS: In Webinar 2 actors will apply OUR BRAND NEW TECHNIQUES to test out how it works in a practical sense. Already actors are applying this technique of their own volition and finding that it works.

ABOUT RICHARD...
Over his twenty-five year directing career Richard found that many actors he auditioned didn’t actually listen in auditions. He realised that it took many years of experience for actors to come to terms with and understand the audition process.
Having a practical understanding of what the actor's job is when auditioning is a massive help in enabling an actor to audition well. Self test have added a whole new layer of complications. Plus there are many myths about auditions and many confusions about what Casting Directors and directors are looking for.
Richard continues to analyze actors choices to define which ones are productive so that the actors he trains are equipped to make pro-active choices.
Because our minds all work in the same way understanding actor's, like any of us, can make choices without knowing that they have made them. Richard's aim is to put the actor in charge of their choices.
