This class is for performers who want to know how they are perceived and perfect their image, presentation and music accordingly. Be sure you are marketing yourself as the actor you want to be and the actor you ARE!
Each week you will have a different assignment both for yourself and for the other performers in the class. It's crucial to the class that you be open to feedback and willing to give it freely and in a supportive manner. You will perform at least one song (but hopefully 2-3) from your book each week. You will also be given many new repertoire suggestions. At the last class, a surprise industry person (or two) will be there to give you an outside perspective on your progress and work. So you will gain both personal and professional contacts from this class, along with repertoire and invaluable feedback.
Admission will be determined based on your resume and brief phone (or in person) interview with Leslie. "It's important to be sure we have a compatible group of people so we all trust each other to give smart, honest feedback. Should this class not be the right fit for you, I promise you, you will be in another round that IS right for you. That's important to me."
To submit yourself, please email leslie@lesliehenstock.com with a little info about yourself and your resume. Picture is optional, but not necessary. I want to know about YOU and your career.
Really looking forward to working with you!
