The final unit of class is a survey of career opportunities for the actor and a study of accepted audition techniques, resumes, professional preparation and personal marketing. The final monologue will be presented in audition format. This common time for the entire class to rehearse and practice ensures that you will always be able to work with your partner prior to performances. The Instructor will be available on most studio days and the class will meet when studio time is not designated.
Regular attendance is required.
Students are allowed two unexcused absences, following those absences individual grades may be lowered by one-half letter per additional absence. Students are particularly responsible for cooperation and teamwork when involved with partners working toward scene presentations. If you jeopardize another student s grade by not collaborating, failing to adequately rehearse scenes or failing to keep appointments, the same grading policy applies. Students who find themselves with an uncooperative partner are expected to inform the Instructor. University attendance policy states that the student admitted to membership in the university community has freely accepted the obligation of class attendance for which she or he is registered.
