Demo Clinic
This clinic is designed to help you wherever you are in the demo process, from ‘I don’t know what I’m doing’ to ‘I think I have what I need, but I want to be sure.’ Ideally participants bring scripts they wish to work on with the express intent of whether or not these should be on their demos: does this character play well? Does it suit the actor? Does it need tweaking, or even to be taken out of consideration? How do others react to it? A real-world audience for feedback, PLUS a director to help you through the thought process and improvements.

Pro Series - The Edge of Spec: Booking More Auditions
The audition comes to your inbox. It seems so obvious what they're looking for. How do you differentiate yourself? What's too safe and what's too far?
We're going to take you to boundary edges and explore the nuances that are the difference between a perfectly nice audition and something that makes casting directors sit up and say “that's our actor.” You must come prepared to work and to be pushed, as well as to offer thoughtful, constructive feedback as well as take it. Because the work you put in here when you have an audience will serve you well when you're alone in your booth.
This will be limited to 12 actors and will be two intensive, full days. If you're ready to go for the bigger projects, the more visible roles, and the memorable characters, come join me.

License to Create: Character Innovation Beyond the Script
You have license to be imaginative and create, with a bit of adherence to the guideposts along the way. Create characters you can believe in with risks and stakes YOU feel are worth fighting for. By emotionally committing, you will deliver something compelling and ultimately original. More often than not, originality gets the gig!
AUDIOTS: Auditions with re-directs
Actors will receive scripts the day before, and they will choose one and record an audition, just as they would an actual gig. In session, each audition will be analyzed and re-directed by a Director, with the actor reading live in front of the group.

Combat Clinic
Combat is so much more than attacks, hits, and deaths - it involves terror, stress and boredom; heroism and confusion; survival and moral choices. Most of us will never be in combat situations, yet it’s commonplace in video games. This clinic puts a granular focus on these aspects so that actors will not only be better prepared for actual combat games, but for any conflict resolution and realism, even when the only weapons are words.

Grimoire Clinic
This is the place to do everything related to creating or enhancing characters in your toolbox: creating something new, deepening a role, doing an offshoot of an existing character, and so on. Actors can bring scripts, or scripts can be assigned in-session.

Audiobook Clinic
Steve Marvel focuses on what it takes to give compelling performances in the “marathon, not a sprint” that is audiobooks. Participants will learn how to dig into a manuscript for acting clues, sustain the listener's interest, and minimize mistakes in order to maintain performance.

One-On-One Consultation With Randall
Spend 30 minutes in a Zoom with Randall to discuss anything you wish: career, technique, networking/sales, demos, studios, and so on.
“I auditioned for a role in a video game the day after we got back. I looked over the notes from your class before I recorded to get in the right frame of mind. AND I GOT THE ROLE! My FIRST audition after your class!!! Thank you so much! If that isn't proof for your pudding, I don't know what else you need!”
- Tyler
