Vincent Pastore (THE SOPRANOS, CHICAGO, BULLETS OVER BROADWAY) will work with actors in this 5-week online (via Zoom) workshop to develop acting techniques and habits of preparation that will help you bring your acting skills to the demands of the business. You will learn to be organized and ready, to make strong and truthful choices, discovering the confidence and authority to stake your unique claim. When you audition or interview for a role, you may have just a few brief moments to show who you are and what you can do. You must have effective monologues prepared, be ready and able to improvise, be able to take a script apart and make it your own. It’s up to you to convince the people at the table that you will solve their casting problem. Once you have the role, you must be able to bring the character on the page to life, walking and talking. Mr. Pastore will work with you to develop your skills so that no matter the circumstances, you are able to claim your place in the room and make the role your own.
