I Booked It – Judy Kain

We are so busy worrying about how we are going to cleverly deliver our next line that we miss an opportunity to have a natural reaction, which will motivate our line much better than how we rehearsed it in our heads. Do not indicate your reaction. Just listen and have your point of view so we know what you are thinking. The practice of active listening gives you real, subtle reactions.

Know, don’t show is my favorite motto. 5. Play the beginning, middle, and end of the scene Yes, all of that is included in a three-second spot. It is your job to establish what happened right before the scene starts, what the climax of the scene or turning point is, and what is the resolve and how to keep the life going after the last scripted line. This is necessary to do for yourself, even if your only line is a response to, “Do you want fries with that?”

The beginning of the scene is fueled by where you just came from or what you just heard. Your first scripted line is always generated by something that preceded it; the scene doesn’t start in a vacuum. Don’t expect this information will be given to you. Some savvy session directors will give you something, but remember they will probably give the same info to every actor who auditions for the role.

Do you want to do the same thing on the audition tape that every other actor does? I caution you not to make it some grandiose, extraordinary happening. Keep it real and within the scope of your life and your role. Make it something that would naturally occur before you order a hamburger. Perhaps you checked your wallet to make sure your credit card is in there.

Or perhaps a friend called and asked you to bring a burger back to the office. The middle or the climax/turn of the scene is just that. What changes? Look for the change and then you can construct the rise to the turn of the scene. The bigger the stakes, the bigger the turn. So make sure you want something enough, even if it is just to order a hamburger.

What People Are Saying about Judy Kain and the “I Booked It” Techniques She Teaches I love her interactive teaching and constructive suggestions that allow the actor to make their own choices. You can absolutely see Judy’s years of experience and value from the moment the class begins. Just effortless! –Krissy Eaton Agent, Pantheon Talent Agency I took Judy’s class a few months ago. Thanks to Judy’s class, I kept it real for an audition and callback a few weeks ago.

Booked my 1st National spot, for a huge campaign for Abbvie. Shot it last week. Thanks, Judy! –Randy Fratkin I’ve taken Judy Kain’s classes twice. Immediately after ending the first round of classes I was getting callbacks instantly. The second time I was in class within the first week I had a booking! I absolutely attribute my success so far to what I learned with Judy. This class is gold! –Zach Book Clearly, Judy is an expert…. No matter how good you are, Judy Kain will help you to be better.

–Genia M. Not only does Judy provide a solid foundation for actors, she is a supportive, enthusiastic teacher who knows EXACTLY what the commercial world is looking for!! –Stephanie Burns AGENT Avalon Artists Agency As a talent manager for youth, I am very selective where I send my clients for training. After all, managers don’t benefit until our clients book roles, and it’s crucial that the talent we represent properly develop and grow in the craft of acting.

I have known Judy Kain for many years, and I have to say that she is always on the top of my referral list. The results of her acting program speak for itself and I see the bookings. Judy herself is a class act. Her dignity and reputation in this industry has been nothing short of rock solid! –Linda Henrie Go Talent Management Judy is amazing!

Here’s some of what you’ll learn: -How to prepare for every type of commercial audition -What CD’s love (and what they hate) – How to know your type and use it to your advantage -Improvisation Skills for fresh, flexible auditions -Simple, easy “tricks” to nail it in one take. They even helped set up the unrepresented among us with agents. To me, that’s above and beyond. Highly Recommended!!!
