The Art of Specificity with Michael D. Cohen

Apr 24, 2024 - 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM PDT

Where: In Person - SAG-AFTRA Plaza

Deadline to RSVP is April 22 at 12 noon PT.

When: 6 - 8 p.m., Wed, April 24

Where: SAG-AFTRA Plaza
     James Cagney Boardroom – Lobby Level
     5757 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90036
     Parking will be validated.

Class Description:

How do you set yourself apart in an audition? How do you serve the text while still making bold choices? Sometimes our efforts to stand out take us away from the story being told, or we stay general because we're just not sure how to make it our own, or worse, we think we're being specific when we're not. This workshop will help you assess your own process and give you new tools to meeting a role's need for specificity. You will learn to find hidden clues in the script, use your uniqueness to create specific characters, and discover ways to be even more present in the audition.  

This is a hands-on in-person workshop based on the principles Michael presented in this PTEOE presentation "The Art of Specificity".  Watching the video is not mandatory but will give you a good foundation for this workshop. A few members will be asked from the audience to work at the front of the room. You may bring a prepared scene or monologue if you wish to volunteer.

 

About the Instructor:

Michael D. Cohen is a series regular, with writing and directing credits, on Nickelodeon's hit sit-coms Henry Danger and Danger Force.  Other TV acting credits include Modern Family, The Mindy Project, Angie Tribeca, Powerless, The Real O'Neals and 2 Broke Girls. Film work includes Suburbicon directed by George Clooney, and the Oscar winning film Whiplash.  He served as Co-Chair of the SAG-AFTRA Los Angeles Conservatory at the AFI, as a faculty lecturer for University of Texas, Austin in Hollywood and teaches acting classes at The Groundlings and through his own studio The Michael D.
