In this short Audition Information Session for grades 9-adult, Venice Theatre Artistic Director Benny Sato Ambush will introduce you to what is expected in a Venice Theatre audition and how to audition well in its 2023-2024 season. This is not a workshop where you will present and work on audition material. This session gives information and helpful tips only. Questions and concerns are encouraged.

In this MasterClass adult 2-day workshop, get your memorized monologues in shape and prime-time ready for Venice Theatre auditions working with Benny offering personalized, detailed, hands-on coaching and mentoring.

What You Will Learn:

• the real reason for auditioning with monologues
• how to work on memorized monologues
• what to focus on
• how to slate
• how to enter the room, what to do in it, how to exit
• helpful tips to increase your chances of getting cast
• BONUS: how to properly read an unmemorized audition piece

Class #1 on 10/28/23: Present one 90-seconds-or-less memorized monologue and be ready to work on your feet with Benny. Work on notes at home in the following week to prepare for Class #2.

Class #2 on 11/4/23: Present your reworked memorized monologue. Also, bring in a different, contrasting, unmemorized, 60-second monologue to read in class.

** This workshop is ideal for veteran actors wanting to deepen their audition skills. **

In this unique one-day mock audition workshop, young actors will get a chance to perform their monologue and get feedback and guidance from VT's own Brad Wages! Students will be sent four monologues from which to choose. They will need to have the monologue memorized and ready to perform. Students must be registered by Oct. 15 to participate in this workshop.
