Over the course of the next two weeks, you will spend approximately four hours developing characters, rehearsing your selected pieces, and recording your performances. This project meets the following standards, which have been identified as two of our three remaining “essential learning requirements” for the semester:
  • Cr1.1.3c. Integrate cultural and historical contexts with personal experiences to create a character that is believable and authentic in a theatre work. 
  • Pr4.1.3b: Apply a variety of researched acting techniques as an approach to character choices in a theatre work. 
Notice that you are creating characters and using researched acting techniques to influence your rehearsal choices.

MONDAY, May 4th – FRIDAY, May 15th:
  1. Read through the jigsawed theorists that we worked on last week.
    1. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iD6wDyjMh1O04qkXeJVZ7ncQRKkJGIwnnR17t-RofVM/edit?usp=sharing
  2. Select one theorist and watch the documentaries and examples provided on the Google Form above.
    1. **Apply one of the acting theorist’s methods/concepts that were researched on the Google Drive document to your development of the pieces below.
  3. Begin the monologue and scene rehearsal process for the requirements below. You will do BOTH Scene 1 and Scene 2 requirements.
    1. Scene 1: Monologue from Television Show or Movie of your choice – one to two minutes. Do not simply recreate what was done in the original. Make it your own and approach it from the character, not the actor who was cast. 
    2. Scene 2: Choose one of the practice scripts from the following link: https://monologueblogger.com/10-practice-scripts-for-actors/ . You choose the character you want to audition for in your film; your reader plays the other character. Since these are practice scripts, you have the opportunity to develop your character from scratch and actually use some acting theory to rehearse and memorize; instead of attempting to distinguish yourself from what a professional has already done with your scene 1 monologue.
      1. Note: Some of the scenes in the practice scripts link include adult language or content. Be advised (and warn your reader).
    3. (Note: Usually in digital auditions you are actually using the script for the show or movie you are auditioning for. There is no “original” to watch unless it is a remake. The script would be posted or given to you by your agent for you to develop and then film or attend the in-person audition.)
  4. Watch the examples of self-tape/digital auditions below. They are entertaining!
    1. Rachel McAdams The Notebook: 
      1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=66&v=_XfUUYK7Gkg&feature=emb_logo
    2. Compilation of people who auditioned and didn’t get the roles and, of course, the ones who did: The Office:
      1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5I_OTjH9fg
    3. Henry Thomas ET (if you have never seen this movie, do yourself a huge favor and watch it before watching this…major spoilers….it’s not a scary movie, it’s a heart-tugging, beautiful, crying movie that gets me every time. It’s a classic…and this kid’s audition is amazing.)
      1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tA5giyG8E7g
  5. Read the “How To” document provided in the Downloads section for this course.
  6. Record your audition performance and upload it to the following Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wMeaHm33rgAo2KEGX4tfLLORCeftLqEu?usp=sharing​​​​​​​ . 
This audition recording will be graded on the application of your chosen theorist’s rehearsal and performance technique as well as the quality and standard of the audition recording based on the “How To” document provided.

Your completed self-tape audition is due by midnight on Friday the 15th to the Google Drive link in step 6.
