NIDA Online: NIDA Audition Preparation – Heightened Text & Language

Overview

Elevate your confidence in preparing and performing classical monologues and transform your audition technique with our specialised online training. Develop the essential skills to interpret and master heightened text, along with the tools to independently refine your physical and vocal abilities for an unforgettable performance.  

Guided by NIDA Open’s teaching artists with current industry expertise, you’ll craft a structured approach tailored to thrive in high-pressure audition environments. Immerse yourself in the nuances of classical language and style, embodying rhythm, meter, and poetic devices to enrich your interpretation of the text. Engage in dynamic acting exercises designed for seamless online learning, where you’ll dissect characters to articulate their motivations, desires, fears, and inner conflicts. In a collaborative learning environment prepare to shine with a comprehensive approach that prepares you for audition success. 

This course offers valuable tips and insights into the expectations and formats for both face-to-face and online auditions. It can be undertaken as a single unit or paired with NIDA Audition Preparation – Contemporary Monologues. Receive a 20% discount when you enrol in both courses, discount applied at checkout when you add both courses to cart (cannot be used in conjunction with any other discount).
