Winning The Role, with Jason WeinbergFor Beginner | Intermediate | Advanced | Working Professionals
Then back to Toronto after NYC. And now, after more than 100 T.V.,Film and Theatre gigs with parts of all different sizes, the best part is still the learning, and then applying the learning effectively to book a job. That’s endlessly thrilling. More than anything on the TV side, I learned a tonne when I was a lead on a T.V. Series. I was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award, now clearly I’m proud of that because I brought it up, but I’m more proud of the fact that I had to audition 6 times to get the job. For the good recurring roles I’ve gotten, I’ve had to audition multiple times as well. I currently have a recurring role on the Netflix Series “Grand Army”, and I had to audition 4 times for that! I really want to share what I’ve learned and what mistakes I’ve made in the audition room with you. I don’t want you to make the mistakes I’ve made.
I am really proud to be part of Milne Studio. Brad has created a really special atmosphere of learning, growth and respect. I’ve seen it first hand, it’s a special place.
Crazy Business - It would be a lie to say every time you do a great audition, you get the role. That’s not true. In this crazy business, there are so many factors influencing why casting decisions are made. Your part could have been cut, they think you’re too tall, too short. You have NO CONTROL over these things.
Your Control - What is in your control?? How well you Audition! The only thing you can do is approach every audition as if it’s yours for the taking. I have seen over and over parts that were basically cast in a Director’s mind be snatched away by an Actor who comes in and blows them away with a superior audition. You just never know, so go in armed and ready.
The Superior Audition - Simply put, what are these things that you must do consistently for all your Auditions? Firstly, a meticulous script analysis must always be there regardless of the size of the role. This analysis culminates in what you (the character) are trying to accomplish in your Audition (Your Objective). Next, having a clear understanding that Audition Acting is different from regular Acting (wherein you have an actual scene partner). Lasty, how do you practice/rehearse after adhering to the above steps?
In this class we practice these things in depth, so that your confidence can grow, and you can do them on your own. We work on a variety of different audition scripts designed to keep pushing your imaginations and skill.
My Promise - I can assure that we will work in a supportive environment that never stops pushing students forward. I will make myself available to you whenever you have any question, clarifications or concerns while we are working together and beyond. My Sincere thanks, Jason.
