Callback Workshop
What does it really mean to prepare for a callback? How do you rehearse your sides, and what does success look like?How you prepare for a callback requires some of the same audition preparation skills, but with a very different process and a very different goal.
In this final workshop of the audition series, we’ll answer these questions and more. Through discussion, exercises, and mock callbacks, you’ll learn how to:
Prepare your sides effectively
Understand your role and purpose in the callback room
Build the foundation of a process that is repeatable, adaptable and entirely yours
Open to all levels, whether it’s your first callback or your hundredth. You’ll leave with a clear sense of readiness and a new perspective on what success really means in a callback audition.
Participation Options:
Work: Choose a side from the provided list and prepare as you would for a real callback.
Observe: Learn by watching and take home practical tips for your own preparation.
