Audition Like a Pro with Jessica Sherman will be held from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. on Oct. 1 and from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. on Oct. 8 at Holmdel Theatre Company, 36 Crawfords Corner Road, Holmdel. The cost is $30 a class or both classes for $50.

In this two-part master class, Jessica Damrow Sherman will help you sharpen your audition technique. The first class will focus on how to hone cold reading skills – identifying a clear character objective for the scene, making bold character choices, listening to your scene partner and taking direction in an audition situation. In the second class, Jessica will discuss how to select appropriate, vibrant material and prepare an audition monologue. Students will be asked to bring in an audition monologue and Jessica will provide each student with personalized feedback and direction. Jessica Damrow Sherman, MFA, MA, holds 20 years of experience as an actor, director and educator.

The next monday reading will be held at 7 p.m. on Oct. 2.
