Chicago Youth Shakespeare’s Classical Audition Bootcamp is designed for high school students who are serious about their Shakespeare and are looking to nail their next audition. Learn how to choose and prep material, own the audition room, and "speak the speech” like a pro! 

​Specific areas of focus include:

• Choosing a monologue that is right for you and right for the audition
• Tips for putting together successful college pre-screens and video auditions
• Knowing how to walk in the room (yes, this is a thing), and slate like a pro
• Unpacking the text to make the words make sense
• Finding (and accessing) the "moment before" at a moment's notice
• Transitioning between contemporary and classical pieces like a pro
• Re-focusing any pre-audition nerves to work for you and not against you
