Overview

Audition Psych 101 takes you inside Michael Kostroff’s practical four-hour workshop for actors that deals with the mental side of the audition process.  Taking the form of a lecture/conversation, it focuses exclusively on the way we think about this weird show-business ritual, and how we can approach it better.

Kostroff deconstructs the ideas that make us feel scared, nervous, insecure, discouraged, and unworthy, explodes some of our strange, illogical actor mythologies, and considers fresh ideas and practicable techniques for making auditions much more enjoyable and much more successful.

Here’s why it’s effective: Audition Psych 101 isn’t based on any sort of magical positive thinking, new-age philosophy, or spiritual beliefs.  The ideas all come from solid, provable realities, professional experiences, and good old-fashioned logic.  It’s the stuff you know in your gut, brought back into focus.
