ALL AGES WELCOME!!
Don’t miss this one!!! Do you know how to SLATE? What about your MARK? What does it mean when they say, “Show us your PROFILES?

This seminar gives you all the information you need to know about what will happen when you walk into an audition room. BE PREPARED! When a client looks at a tape of 100 people, their first job is to disqualify 80-90 of them. It is the little details that make the difference of you getting the callback or not. Find out how to deal with any situation that may come up and guarantee a memorable audition. Learn how to get the callback every time by becoming aware of the things that will get you “bumped". Find out the tricks, avoid the traps and watch your bookings increase!! To sign up call Lisa or Laura @ 954.731.4888 TODAY!
