Auditions

Rumors

Play by Neil Simon
We will be holding auditions for Rumors our theatre on 10 S. Mechanic St., on:
  • Mon., Dec. 18 from 6-8pm
  • Tue., Dec. 19 from 6-8pm

​Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Auditioners do not need to prepare material for the audition.
Auditioners need only attend one audition session, but are welcome to attend both if they wish. No need to RSVP in advance, but we do ask that auditioners arrive promptly at 6 pm to be respectful of everyone's time.

No experience? No worries! At LTC, we pride ourselves on making the audition process a welcoming and stress-free experience.

Any questions please contact director Michael Schumacher at michaeljs79@yahoo.com or (937) 789-2329.

Need to Learn an Accent?

Some of our actors have had continued success learning a variety of accents via the Dialect Accent Specialist materials. These are a reasonably priced collection of downloadable audio dialect lessons by David Alan Stern. The collection includes a wide range of dialects, such as New York City, American Southern & Texas, Cockney, German, and even Arabic! More info here:  Accents & Dialects for Actors.

Learning Lines? Yes, There's an App for That!

Picture
There are a growing number of smart phone/device apps to help one learn lines. One that some of our actors highly recommend is LineLearner. However, it appears to work best with an iPhone rather than Android devices. Some additional links related to the app: iOS written instructions and video tutorials, 

Recommended Reading

An Actor's Companion, Tools for the Working Actor. is an excellent book for both those new to acting as well as advanced actors. It is a relatively short read, full of succinct and simply set forth principles and activities. Experimenting with these principles will enable you to give a better performance.
