Stephen Marcus - Coaching

Who am I and what am I doing?

I am offering a coaching service to help you with the big audition that you have
next week, tomorrow or in a month. Whether you need someone to just go
through the lines with you or you need help interpreting the script or doing
exercises to find the character, i am your man.

As a working actor I have worked in Films. TV, Adverts, & Theatre for the last 22
years, during those years I have developed the knowledge and skills to help you
get that Audition.

Films I have performed in have included ‘Quills’ opposite Kate Winslett and
Geoffrey Rush, ‘Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels’ directed by Guy Ritchie and
most recently ‘The Greatest Game Ever Played’ directed by Bill Paxton for Disney
Pictures.

How will I do it?

Obviously each type of audition will require a different approach,

Advert auditions - are concerned with your appearance and getting yourself
over in 30 seconds, so we will talk about how to present yourself specifically
to the product in your clothing and attitude and we will practice doing some
auditions over and over.
Theatre auditions - are about the actual audition piece you have been asked
to do or have chosen yourself. We will firstly make sure that you know the
words and then we will do exercises to find the character and stage the piece.
Film & TV auditions - vary considerably, sometimes they ask you to prepare a
specific part of the role and you will do that at the audition, so we will work
on that piece together. Other times they will give you the script when you get
there so we will need to work on fast analysis of the script and sight reading.
Often they won't ask you to read anything and it becomes about your
personality and chemistry with the director.
