2026 Classes
February Audition Intensive
PASADENA, CA
Date: Monday February 23rd to Friday February 27th 2026
Time: 10am to 3:45pm
DETAILS:
Since 90 % of acting is auditioning, we want to set the foundation for this year with an Audition Masterclass.
Diane will be consulting with Casting Director Mark Fincannon on what he’s looking for in a self tape. We will be diving into how to craft an unforgettable audition while also going over important practical information on camera angles, lighting, hair etc and how to work with the reader.
We are asking actors to send in previous submissions of self tapes for Diane to review and to see how to help. Or bring in current material to work on.
Class is 30 plus hours for $550. This class fills up quickly. Your deposit will hold your space.
*Class is limited to 8 students.
