Chicago Youth Shakespeare’s Audition Bootcamp is designed for high school students who are preparing to audition for undergraduate  conservatory programs, or are just looking to refine their audition skills. Learn how to choose and prep material, own the audition room, and "speak the speech” like a pro! 

​Specific areas of focus will 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 classical and contemporary monologues
• Re-focusing any pre-audition nerves to work for you and not against you
• Techniques to take your character prep and performance to the next level ​
