COMPETITION: 6 copies of Mastering the Audition to give away!

Frustrating, nerve-wracking, job-winning or job-losing, flawed yet necessary – auditioning is a maddening business for everyone involved. Drawing on some fascinating, cutting-edge research into how the brain copes and responds in high-stress situations, Mastering the Audition looks closely at the effects of fear, at our flawed ability to assess or really know ourselves, at what really drives us, and at what it really takes to master the audition experience. We have six copies of this book to be won.

Donna Soto-Morettini, the author of this essential new book for actors, is a casting director and performance coach who has been auditioning and training performers for over two decades. She will be leading the must-attend session from The Stage Events, ‘TV talent show audition secrets’ in which she’ll share her insights and tips from her extensive work on shows including The Voice, Superstar and Popstar to Operastar.  If you’ve ever thought about auditioning for a TV talent show then you can’t afford to miss this session.

Tickets for ‘TV talent show audition secrets’, which takes place on Wednesday, October 31 at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London.
