Auditioning & Self-Taping keep evolving. Here’s how to meet the moment with success!

The Industry relies on Self-Tapes and Zoom callbacks to book actors. And right now, after the pandemic and strikes, everyone in the Industry needs every actor to show up with absolute confidence, clarity, and leadership. You need to have immediate impact and that requires a different level of exploration, a shift in your practice, and mastery of the audition.

While you want to stand out in your self-tapes, you may be looking for the hook outside of yourself. The secret is that you are the hook. You are the goldmine. Your truth and your humanity. This work is about consistently integrating that into your approach and your practice, creating connection, creative empowerment, and confidence.

Over the course of these 8 weeks, Risa & David guide you to hone in on your authentic voice and all the power YOU hold every time you show up for an audition, self-tape, or Zoom callback. They share decades of experience and expertise to help you adopt a more genuine, more alive way of auditioning and taping, showing up on camera with presence, with ease, with confidence and clarity, fully dropped into the story, all cylinders firing. Your most impactful audition (from your living room, a studio, or in a Zoom space) is actually a living, dynamic piece of work- happening in real-time and moving your audience on an emotional level. 

Not easy… but DOABLE. And we will show you how!

You enter the laboratory, investigate each piece of material through powerful script analysis, then dismantle and let go of the structure, exploring the work right from where YOU are in real time with a sense of play and aliveness. We ask you to let go of perfectionism and offer the Casting Director a breath of fresh air with your auditions by sharing characters who are living, breathing, three-dimensional human beings. Every time.

This is what mastery looks like; it’s incredibly exciting.

The work...

In the Advanced Audition MasterClass we will:

  • Simplify & Hone successful audition prep
  • Dive into powerful Script Analysis
  • Record self-tapes at home and in-person for review and re-working
  • Give feedback and guidance from years behind and in front of the camera
  • Practice Mock auditions and Callbacks
  • Prepare for & practice different genres
  • Address how to enter and handle yourself in the Zoom room

The material we work on includes a variety of scenes chosen by you and/or your teachers, including material that is challenging in so many different ways. There will be 1 online Zoom class. Your in-person work is recorded LIVE and sent to you for your PRIVATE review.

The BGB Advanced Audition MasterClass offers you the necessary tools to revolutionize your audition preparation, push past uncertainty and self-consciousness, and show up adding your beautiful, distinctive voice to the story. To offer auditions that grab the attention of Casting and actually book jobs. Additionally, Risa & David provide you with a direct line to incomparable up-to-date casting intel, along with the practical tools for your most powerful, present work in auditions and on set. And you get to do this work with like-minded creative, supportive actors who work with you as readers and as colleagues.

"The work is working. The timing of this Masterclass could not have been better. Something has shifted. My auditions are getting great feedback and I’ve been invited into rooms for projects I’m excited by. It’s not just how my work is being received, it’s how I feel doing the work – my work has more of me in it. Thank you for the space that is created in class. I’m cultivating a combo of renewed autonomy and joy.”

- Dalal Badr, BLUFF CITY LAW

"David gives you the license to make bold choices in your work. He creates a safe environment to play, make mistakes, and figure out what works for you in any given scene. He has years of practical experience working on sets and is keenly aware of the specific needs of actors. He is a powerful artist who also happens to be incredibly sensitive and kind — basically, everything I could ask for in a teacher."

- Cate Cohen, JANE THE VIRGIN

"Risa was able to make me, an agent-less, essentially credit-less actor at the time, ask the question — Why not me? She recognized the artist in me, brought it out, and helped me never to be intimidated by external circumstances that have nothing to do with what we do as artists."

- Donal Logue, GOTHAM

"David DeSantos is a deeply soulful, incredibly generous actor and artist. His enormous heart and deep compassion for other artists allows him to hold a space that inspires bigger risk taking and a deeper commitment to my own work. Anyone lucky enough to work with him will experience the same!"

- Elisabeth Hower, SUITS

"Because of Risa Bramon Garcia, I've worked with Oliver Stone, booked four Series Regular roles, and done theater in New York... and I am an LA based actor. With her there are no limits. She will bring out talents and confidence you didn't even know you had. Do you want to work? Study with Risa. She will change you as an actor."

- Andy Lauer, IRON MAN 3
