Also the tip on preventing cottonmouth…thank you, thank you, thank you! Exceptional event. SO glad to have come today. Cheers to you, Laura!” Laurie F.

Every actor needs audition monologues to dazzle and amaze at a moment’s notice. The Monologue Boot Camp, a 2-hour, 9-week class, will help you prepare a solid and appropriate monologue (or several monologues), classical and/or contemporary, for any audition situation. You’ll work with master acting teacher and coach, Robin Lane, also a stage director and Broadway performer, in order to learn the necessary techniques to astonish your auditors, be it for an onstage production, or film and/or television. 

Ever wanted to be a Fly on the wall at your last audition, wondering what was said about you or your performance? Robin has sat in on many auditions, and can give you top secret tips on wardrobe, personal introductions, monologue choices, and MORE! You may, for the first class, bring in one monologue for review (no longer than 1 and 1/2 minutes); or, if you’re not sure how to go about researching an appropriate piece, in its very first class Boot Camp will help you find and employ the proper resources. And at the end of the 9-week course, each of you will perform a chosen monologue in a showcase for an invited audience!
