Your job as an actor is to bring scripted characters to life, and make them live & breathe.
Sure, you as an actor can take on various attributes of a person, copy them, then mixed with your drama school technique, you deliver a character. But is that character 3 dimensional? Or is it just paint by numbers, ready to be delivered for the next soap opera?
The Creating Compelling Characters course gives you the steps, the tools and the skills to make your characters multi dimensional so that they breathe life into the script. It is a ‘how to guide’ in creating compelling, memorable screen characters.
This course is open to all, but it is possibly better suited to established actors rather than beginners (see Self Taping School). In this course, students will be taken through the myriad of steps to create their own characters, record them and distribute them.
By the end of the course you will have captured one of the roles you were born to play and have the steps and tools to create others!
Our Creating Compelling Characters course is our fully online PhD course, comprising three lessons a week over the course of six weeks with personalized mentoring at the end of every week. These are recorded lessons, and you can watch/ learn in your own time
Practice makes perfect is what we preach here at The Audition Technique. Apart from our structured lessons, we have improvised exercises each week, constructing your characters piece by piece. We record on Vimeo using this as our library with a private Facebook Group for interaction.
There are exclusive downloads and live Q&As where everyone can attend and ask questions. The end of the course includes an exclusive one on one with renowned casting director, Greg Apps, to discuss your journey and your way forward.
