Beginner and Professional Audition Acting Workshops in New York taught by Jason Bennett and Special Guests

Our New York Audition classes are described as "life-changing" by professional actors and singers. And if you're a beginner, you rapidly learn all the tools you need to get work in film, television or theater.

Our professional New York audition classes liberate performers from the false "rules" taught in the audition "classes" given by large corporations throughout the city. Great actors and singers don't follow a fixed set of audition rules, and that's why our performers get work in film, television and theater. Great auditions are emotionally filled, imaginative, unpredictable and filled with heightened energy. Great auditions are about developing long-term relationships with other performers, casting directors, directors and producers.

Working performers must wow casting directors and agents in high-pressure situations. In our Audition Workshop, you learn how!

In our New York Audition Workshop:

• You explore the unique demands of commercial, film, television and theater auditions -- and what impresses casting directors and agents.

• You learn to stay emotionally open, maintaining a feeling of ease and deep connection to your imagination while auditioning.

• You develop your cold reading and interview skills, experiencing high-pressure, simulated auditions over and over.

This New York auditon workshop goes way beyond typical "audition workshops." It is an in-depth exploration of how to distill a professional actor's and signers's acting process down to the bare essentials to do great auditions.

Yes, auditioning can be fun. Auditioning is about playing. It is about revealing the deep levels of your creativity in high-pressure situations, in a relaxed and joyous way.
