The night will start off with a Q&A, and then you will read your sides with a reader. Karie will begin working with each actor in a group format. Be prepared for awesome feedback and training that will impact your auditions immediately.

In week two, Karie will assign cold scenes that you will work with her in class online.

In your final class, you'll meet in-person to fine tune your scene from week two with Karie.

Karie is always interested in meeting trained actors of all types-all ethnicities-all ages (18+) for their many projects.
