WORKSHOPS INCLUDE:
Thought Support Technique
The Safety Net Under Your Audition
Thursday, May 17, 2012 5pm-8pm
Ever go into an audition thinking you have your lines memorized only to get nervous and mess up? The Thought Support Technique helps you use your sides in the audition while staying in character so that you don’t have to depend on memorization. Memorizing can lock you into a stale delivery or make you even more flustered if you accidentally get lost or forget a word.
With the Thought Support Technique, you’ll learn how to deepen your connection to the other character in the scene, how to listen and be present, fight for your objective, and truly respond to what you are receiving from the other character. This allows the lines to come to you organically without your even trying. With this technique, you’ll “learn” your lines by heart through being present in the scene, all without trying to memorize a single word.
Auditioning By Heart
Film/Television Audition Technique Workshop
3- DAY INTENSIVE WORKSHOP – May 18-20, 2012
Each actor will receive sides prior to each day’s class. Upon arrival at the workshop, the actors will be put on tape. After all the actors have been put on tape, class will begin! “Auditioning By Heart” is a deep exploration of what it takes to quickly create a character’s life from the truth. This will be a class where you will be trained to do the history home-work as quickly as possible because you will know your priorities. It’s exhilarating work, that in a wonderful way, turns auditions into improvs. This makes auditioning like acting, when acting is like life! And that is when it’s fun… and when it makes a difference in the world! Crystal will critique each actor’s performance thoroughly during playback. The Thought Support technique will be referred to in this weekend’s foundation, so actors are strongly encouraged to sign up for that class as well.

She worked many years at the Margie Haber Studio, was hired by FOX-TV as the on-set coach for 13 episodes of the TV show, “The Inside”, and currently teaches “Auditioning by Heart” classes, both in her LA Studio and internationally as well as “virtually” over the internet in smaller markets. Specializing in audition technique, Crystal draws from a wide range of industry knowledge to help clients develop the skills needed to master auditioning and manifest their best work.
Crystal relishes working with Paula Abdul (Drop Dead Diva), Jennifer Beals (The Chicago Code, L Word), David Boreanaz (Bones), Brittney Daniel (The Game), Agam Darshi (New Pilot: County, Sanctuary), Ethan Embrey (New Pilot: The Frontier, Fairly Legal), Tricia Helfer (Scent of the Missing, The Firm), Aarti Mankad (The Big Bang Theory), Desi Lydic (Awkward, We Bought A Zoo), Sunny Mabrey (Memphis Beat), Aiden Turner (All My Children), Rachel Nichols (G.I.

Crystal’s clients value the way she guides their emotional, intellectual and spiritual sensibilities when generating a character’s life. This way each actor’s unique, quirky, multi-faceted personality surfaces through the character in appropriate, yet unpredictable ways. Her clients grow artistically and increase their confidence, playfulness and willingness to take risks; all of which lead to strong choices while remaining open to the director’s notes.
