Norsk Skuespillersenter Building a Character…Self-Tape Intensive
Using the American-based Meisner & Method techniques with monologue study, Kirk Baltz guides you through preparation exercises and feedback for self-tape auditions that stand out. As virtual auditions are more likely to be in our future, the self-tape becomes a major focus in our work.
Mondays Septemeber 7, 14, 21 & 28 at 10am PST (7pm GMT+2)
For four-weeks, work with contemporary screenplay BIRDMAN, an assigned character & scene. We will discover what it means to find our TRUE selves through character work, self-written monologues & scene study. Self-taping is a major focus in our work, therefore, Kirk will guide you through what makes these self-tapes stand out to Casting Directors.
