|  So
You Want to Be a Character
In this class we will be studying three specific areas
of acting:
Character Development
Acting is not memorizing lines, anyone can memorize. Acting is making the
audience believe you, the actor, are that character you portray.
Cold Reading
Each class will begin with some cold reading.
Cold Reading is what many directors use in auditions.
This class will help you get better at cold reading, subsequently better at auditions.
