I wish so badly I had known about this course before I ever stepped foot in an audition! This course is filled with extremely helpful hints, tips, etiquette, and protocol about the auditioning process. I absolutely loved that it is on-line, so that I could access it at my convenience from my own home. I also liked being able to re-listen to a certain section if I felt I didn't quite grasp what was being said. The quizzes at the end of each video helped me be sure I was understanding the most crucial points within each topic. I think that every actor- regardless of experience level- would find this course helpful and worthwhile. Thank you Catrine and everyone at ReelGuru that was involved with producing this course! I'm now excited for my next audition!
