You have an audition. Now what?<\/p>\n<p>An audition is a truthful clip of a moment lived in a surreal circumstance that must clearly exist in the actor\u2019s mind, and carry physical weight and presence. It only takes knowing how.<\/p>\n<p>Often, acting classes are about theater \u2013 scene study, performance, memorized lines, sets, costumes, etc., and the luxury of time. Auditioning for a part in film and television has its own skill set. Usually, an actor has one day to get ready, assess a character breakdown, the clothes on his back, perhaps a chair in an empty space, and a stranger with whom to read.<\/p>\n<p>Gerry Cousins fashioned In the Moment as a direct segue into the professional world of film and television \u2013 emphasizing craft, focus, preparation, relaxation and commitment. In her workbook \u2013 as in the studio \u2013 she stresses individualism to meet each student\u2019s needs \u2013 no single technique for all. Step by step, scene by scene, she builds on what went before and what to do next, until you\u2019re there.<\/p>\n<p>Whether an actor, trial lawyer, executive, sales and marketing professional, you have a voice that should be heard. \u201cWho am I in this moment and how am I going to communicate that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gerry will teach you how to prepare your script, make choices, and understand where you\u2019re coming from. When it comes down to it \u2013 what people see, what they want to see \u2013 is not a role or character or piece of work, certainly not a performance. What they want to see \u2026 is you!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Moment-Audition-Workbook-Trained-Actor\/dp\/1681813076\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1474865503&amp;sr=1-1\"><strong>Available at Amazon<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6\" src=\"http:\/\/sbprabooks.com\/gerrycousins\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/991\/2016\/09\/CousinsWebPic-214x300.jpg\" alt=\"CousinsWebPic\" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sbprabooks.com\/gerrycousins\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/991\/2016\/09\/CousinsWebPic-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/sbprabooks.com\/gerrycousins\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/991\/2016\/09\/CousinsWebPic.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/>Gerry Cousins has been writing for 25 years and founded her own on-camera acting school, IN THE MOMENT, in Studio City, California.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lucky you!
