Acting Audition

When a student audits a class, aside from looking at the technique and the teacher, there should also be surveying the mood of the class: What the other peers are like there so that they can see if they fit? I think the reason to take an acting class, whether it´s in Hollywood or in NY or anywhere in the world is also to join a community, and to me, always, the atmosphere of an acting class is informed by who teaches it. Who’s the leader of the class? Who’s the captain? The same thing as a movie set. Who’s running the ship? And if that person is a person that’s creative and fun then it’s going be fun, and if the leader of the boat is somebody that’s afraid, somebody that has a lot of egos, somebody that’s lead by arrogance, then it’s going be a tough ride.  

Acting Classes

I’ve taken many classes where the mood is competitive, which is ok, that’s the world, the world is competitive but within that, I think you want to form some alliances. In my classes, for instance, I’ve had several (not so many) students that have formed friendships and collaborations that have lasted for entire decades. Students have formed theater companies together and they have made movies together, have written scripts together and that’s the way it should be. You should be able to walk into a class and find people that you can be creative with.
