This class offers a professional on camera audition setting. Students will be e-mailed the sides the night before, come to class and sign in, and then be put on tape just like a real audition. Then we will critique the work and do the scenes again. One class a month will focus on developing cold reading skills.

Charlene Tilton's career began at age fifteen, when she appeared in a series of five Japanese clothing commercials with
Ringo Starr of "The Beatles". Then was immediately cast to play
Jodie Foster's best friend in the original "Freaky Friday" for Disney. Various television shows, and films followed, including "
Happy Days" "Eight is Enough", and the movie "Big Wednesday" with
Gary Busey to name a few.
At seventeen Charlene was cast to star as "Lucy Ewing" in one of the most popular television series of all time, "Dallas". Lucy's marriage to Mitch was the second highest rated episode just behind the famous "who shot J.R.?" cliff hanger. Dallas became the # 1 show world wide. In 2004 Miss Tilton was a co-producer with Henry Winkler and Michael Levitt on the CBS two hour Dallas reunion special, "Return to Southfork" which garnered high ratings.
Charlene's love for theatre has taken her across the pond to London twice. She appeared as "Honey" in "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf" and in 2008 "The Wicked Step Mother" in the musical "Cinderella", and received rave reviews for both performances. She feels so honored to have stared with Imogene Coca in "The Foreigner" directed by Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks in San Fransisco. In Los Angeles Charlene again received great reviews and L.A. Weekly's pick of the week for starring in "Tell Veronica" at the Hudson Theatre, and she received an L.A. Theatre Critics Award for playing eight different characters in "Dish Babies".
Bob Rusch is a professional actor and also the Artistic Director of SkyPilot Theatre Company in L.A. He has appeared on numerous television shows such as SONS OF ANARCHY, RAISING HOPE, GHOST WHISPERER, HOUSE, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA, SONS OF TUCSON and TWO AND A HALF MEN among others.
