In this program he give practical advice and techniques on how to achieve a successful audition in any situation, whether its a cold reading, a warm reading, a prepared monologue or call back. Miller directs actors as they give live auditions for him. He the works with the actors to show them how to bring out the character through physical and vocal choices. What is the "emotional arc" for the character in the scene? How does the character dress, walk, dream? Perhaps the most valuable section of this tape is Miller's suggestions for enduring the rigors of waiting for your name to be called. He shows you how to use the time to "tune up" and build confidence.
