or supplement their “book” of audition monologues and songs while studying
Joanna Merlin’s book
Auditioning: An Actor-Friendly Guide
. Class work will
consist of discussions of the text, presentation of monologues and songs,
response from the class, the instructor, and guest respondents, and cold
readings of audition material. e goal for each student will be to find her/
his “type” and how that type can be enhanced through appropriate material
selection. Students will work with the instructor to select monologues and
songs. Outside of class, students will be expected to spend at least 120 hours
learning their material and rehearsing it in such a way that in-class work
is not about memorization and the most basic preparation. Students are
expected to be familiar with the GOTE method of acting taught in THA 120,
Beginning Acting. e end of the termwill culminate in a presentation of
some of the work from the month. Evaluation will be based on attendance,
out-of-class preparation, in-class presentations, and individual growth.
