IMPROV FOR COMMERCIAL AUDITIONS

START DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED

This innovative nine week, on-camera course  taught by Carrie Dobro prepares actors for commercial Improv auditions where there is no scripted dialogue. Utilizing the comprehensive "Green Sheet," (created by Carolyne Barry) actors will be taught specific improvisation techniques that will create a strong foundation. The techniques and skills gained will help actors to do their best at commercial improv auditions.

Carrie Dobro , utilizing various Commercial Improv audition situations, will focus on building confidence and developing creative freedom as well as working with each student to bring out and trust their unique personality. One night will be devoted to working on how to prevail in those auditions where one has to work with problematic actors.

On the last night, Carrie will review the skills covered in the class so each actor can own their progress.
