Seeking:
The Battle Between Sisters by Yue Xu
Jenny - Chinese, 19 years old, short hair. A hardworking, energetic and earnest student who always encounters a string of bad luck.
Sabrina - Chinese, 23 years old. She's the ultimate city girl who is all about achieving the finer things in life. Grandfather - Chinese, 75 years old, gracious.
Nina and the Bear by Natalia DeSilva
Any ethnicity . . .
Nina Russo (late 20’s) - Smart, sensible and grounded. She is the rock that sustains her crazy family and she loves it. She likes feeling needed and she is very quick at solving practical situations, but nobody understands what she feels, not even her longtime boyfriend Charlie. In the scene, the whole family turns to her to know if they have the 40K.
Gloria Russo (late 50’s) – Nina and Tony’s mother. Explosive & charming. She works as a psychic, but she doesn’t know much about it and lives on what she makes with groups of German tourists that a friend brings her. Her husband used to do everything for her, but now that he is dead, she needs Nina. She always makes remarks about Charlie’s butt.
Tony Russo (mid 30’s) – Nina’s brother. He used to be popular in high school. Now he works at a garage and wears exactly the same ‘Nirvana’ and ‘Red Hot Chilly Peppers’ T-shirts that he used to wear at high school. He is used to having someone who does everything for him. First Nina and now his wife Helen. Tony and Helen have a 6 year-old kid, Simon.
Helen (mid 30’s) – Nina’s sister-in-law. For most part of the story, Helen just says ‘yes’. This changes at the end, when she finds out that Tony cheated on her and this makes her talk. We find out that she is very articulate... and bossy.
Charlie (late 20’s) – Dumb but sweet. Charlie is a painter. He only paints unicorns. He only sold one painting to a drunk German guy... by mistake. He is very innocent, but he likes Nina and is ready to do anything for her.
Carlo (mid 50’s) – Mob representative. He is like the lawyer in The Godfather, but in a decadent family that desperately tries to be popular on Facebook. He is very eloquent and looks like an insurance agent.
Fabio (mid 20’s) – Carlo’s nephew. He is rough and lacks his uncle’s finesse. He loses his temper very quickly and is used to solve his problems appealing to violence.
Deathly Possessions by Saanya Dua
Raya (Indian) - 20s a hard charging photojournalist who will stop at nothing to get her scoop. She's hiding a big secret about her past.
Diandra (Indian) - (20s) A beautiful young woman who flaunts her beauty to hide her insecurity.
Brian (White) - (late 20s) A male diva in the truest sense of the word - though he doesn't have a clue.
Ronnie (50s - White) - The wise one . . . though he typically needs to be pushed to reveal his most valuable bits of wisdom.
Dr. Sharma (Indian 30s) - A concerned and sensitive doctor. Cares for his patients to the point where he is not afraid to tell the truth.
Ariel (20s White) - A receptionist at the doctor's office who doesn't care about ruffling peoples feathers . . . when she feels like it.

I've set aside sometime for the two of us to talk.
This Sizzling Summer Session will position you to increase your auditions, blow up your confidence and attract more work.

There's only room for ten people, and after our talk, whether we decide to work together or not you will be glad you had the conversation because you are going to walk away with actionable steps towards your goal.
Love, Roz
PS. Remember, I'm only taking 10 clients. So I'll be able to give the kind of one-on-one attention your actor deserves.
Registration closes Wednesday, May 17 or when the class fills (and it fills FAST!)
Please apply and get on my calendar for our talk!
Love
Roz

It's such a well written script. I don't know ANYTHING about drumming, but I was so drawn into the world and the characters and the stakes.
This is basically a movie between 2 people, protagonist and antagonist and that relationship holds your attention for the entire script. The twists, turns and surprises are magnetic.

11:00 am - After RAVE reviews...Actors Connection is thrilled to have SUPERSTAR Roz Coleman back teaching our Saturday on-camera class for film and TV. This sought after actress is an incredible acting coach and was recently voted Favorite On Camera Teacher in the Backstage Readers Poll for the 2nd Year in a row! Roz also served as the on-set coach for HBO's hit series In Treatment starring Gabriel Byrne.
In this 4 Week on-camera class, you'll work with Roz Coleman on 4 genres that Film/TV actors encounter in auditions and on-set.
For all four classes, you'll be shooting scenes with a reader to view in class with extensive feedback. Roz will cover the unique elements that each genre poses to the actor and the ways to improve your performance.
Your first week will start off with Sitcom material. Roz will work with you on pacing, proximity and "how to find the funny" for television. The second week, Roz will cover One-Hour Dramas going over elements such as heightened stakes and keeping things conversational. In your third week, you'll work on Dramatic Features adjusting the size of your performance to be more film friendly. In your final week, Roz will work with you on Comedy Features and how to adjust your performance for film while maintaining pace, character and comedic timing.
Throughout the course, Roz will also cover working with a reader, script analysis and some of the challenges of working on set. You'll gain a better understanding of these FOUR genres and how to approach them for future auditions.
