Being enrolled in the teen class, participants are taught many things such as auditioning dos and don'ts, auditioning etiquettes, emotional preparation, and script breakdown. Due to COVID-19, participants meet via zoom on Tuesday and Thursday. Melissa Thompson Esaia leads the sessions and helps young actors/actresses prepare for future auditions.
Lisa has joined during the fall. During the sessions, Melissa had covered a lot on auditioning, such as slates, improv, attention to detail in acting, and additional preparations that can improve the process of auditions. She has practiced mock auditions and improv with her fellow classmates. Lisa was taught the basics of breaking down scripts and learned how to better play as her character or role through emotional preparation and understanding. She is really glad she had this opportunity and likes to thanks Melissa for giving her this chance to improve and achieve her goals. She will be using these techniques in the future as she further prepares for an actual audition in the future.
