Hey there, actors!

Let's talk about a common pitfall you might encounter when prepping for auditions – those daunting monologues or intimidatingly long dialogues. You've got your sides, and the lines seem endless. But don't let those big lines intimidate you.

It's crucial to remember that acting is not about how fast you can rattle off lines or how perfectly you deliver them. It's about you—your heart, your soul, your mind, your entire being. The greatest actors, the ones who command those hefty paychecks, aren't just saying lines; they're infusing them with their essence.

Your job is to bring your whole self to the material. You're not there to impress with your memory skills, but to connect with the character and the audience.

When you prioritize the lines over what's happening within you—your emotions, your thoughts, your unique perspective—you miss the mark. Remember, your gut feeling and authenticity are your greatest assets.

🎯 So, in your next audition, focus on bringing heart, soul, and genuine connection to the material. Let the lines flow naturally from the depth of your being. You'll leave a lasting impression that's far more memorable than simply nailing lines.

You got this!

For those who are new (or not so new): Hey there, I'm Katt Shea, a filmmaker, director, screenwriter and passionate educator. What sets my teaching approach apart? I provide you with an intimate and personalized experience to ignite your acting brilliance.

I have an approach that is FUN and will help you step out of your comfort zone and connect with your intuitive self – the part that truly understands your character. You will BE INSIDE your CHARACTER with more life & spontaneity, and your unique personality WILL shine through.

🌟 You get to perform several times every class constantly honing your craft in front of the camera. The more you challenge yourself, the more confidence you'll gain. No more camera intimidation – just pure authenticity and surprises.

👉 You will receive a downloadable video of your performances, and witness your journey. Not only do you get to track your progress, some of the class members have used them as clips for their reels and got them auditions.

📌 Even when success finds you, staying in class keeps you at the top of your game. Every actor benefits from continuous growth and exploration. Plus, my class members are securing roles during the strike! And agents and managers are encouraging actors to be in class now during this down time.

🎬 Join me in my class. Email classes@kattshea.com to secure your spot today. Register and pay before Friday, August 25, 2023 for a deep discount of $289 (regular $400) 🎭

🎭 Own Your Role! 🎬

Once you're cast, that role is yours to own! At a certain point you understand your character better than anyone, even the director and the writer. Your job is to breathe life into that role, and you'll bring unique aspects that I might never have imagined. So, remember this when you step on set – you've earned that role, and it's yours entirely. Trust yourself! Every actor, including the biggest stars, has started as a newcomer, so don't think they're judging you. They're cheering you on to be your best and most authentic self.

🎬 Here's how to make contact effectively with potential agents:

⭐️ Relationship Power: Recommendations from peers can lead to agent signings & audition success. Just recently, one of our talented class members got signed by a new agent after a recommendation from another classmate, and she BOOKED the first audition the new agent sent her with a self-tape.

💡 Strike While the Iron's Hot! Agents might be more receptive during off-seasons or strikes!

📱 Social Media Strategy: Join relevant Facebook and Instagram groups with agents & casting directors. Genuine connections are key, not shameless self-promotion. Engage with them, be their cheerleader, and let friendships develop naturally. ONLY AFTER you’ve built a rapport, you can ask for advice from agents on representation

⏳ Long Game Mindset: Building a relationship is a journey. Enrich your connections by giving [celebrate their wins, share supportive & kind words]. In life, the more you give, the more you'll receive. BUT, do it genuinely without expecting anything in return. Nurture bonds patiently, and watch exciting opportunities unfold!

🎭 Stay in Class: Form bonds, receive support, and open doors to a world of opportunities! Our class members, even the seasoned ones, book more when they're in class. Not only because of the connections, but also because they gain confidence in their performances.

🌟 Join a Supportive Community - where actors lift each other up, recommend one another, and form lifelong bonds. Unlock my unique techniques that will elevate your confidence and skills, making you shine in auditions. Together, we'll supercharge your acting career!

Enrollment is open for the August class!
Classes happening on Tuesdays (6:30 PM - 8:30 PM) and Thursdays (11 AM - 1 PM).

📆 Register and Pay before Friday, July 28, 2023
Deep Discount: $289 (Regular $400)
