MICHAEL PARK - SELF TAPE SUCCESS
This is a rare opportunity for you to learn all the tips and tricks for creating self-tapes that will get you noticed in all of your auditions! Michael will spend time with you in this three-part series, giving you all the knowledge you need to move forward in your journey with success.
In just the first session, you will learn what you need to master before beginning your audition, the ways in which college auditions are different than musical theatre or television auditions and how to properly frame your audition and ensure you have the proper lighting and sound to support you. You will then record a self-tape and send it to Michael for review. At the second session you will receive feedback on your self-tape and things to think about for another tape, which Michael will also review during the third session. All this and the opportunity to ask the questions you have always wanted to know the answers to about the business.
This class is extremely hands-on and personalized. You won’t get this opportunity again!
