Best Endorsement Ever

THE MONOLOGUE AUDITION is recommended by Helen Mirren in her Master Class (TM) on Acting:

”Michael Shurtleff’s book Audition is a classic that acting teachers have recommended for years.

Karen Kohlhaas of the Atlantic Acting School in New York has a wonderful book specifically dedicated to monologues, The Monologue Audition: A Practical Guide for Actors.

Read both of them.”

—Helen Mirren

We’ll say it. Monologues are hard. Legendary director and teacher Karen Kohlhaas addresses preparation to execution, demystifying one of the most difficult forms of theatrical audition. Headed to an open call? Learn how to direct, stage, and even enjoy performing your monologue in the room.”
