MONOLOGUE
To apply for this in-person class, proof of full Covid-19 vaccination, including booster, is required. Make sure to upload a pdf of your card before submitting your application.
We highly encourage all students to stay up to date with their boosters according to CDC recommendations and industry standards and receive the bivalent vaccine. Up-to-date means, if eligible, one must be boosted with the new bivalent vaccine, which is free. You are eligible for the bivalent booster if 2 months have passed since your last vaccine.
Monologue auditions are a standard part of the business, but we consistently hear that actors aren’t thrilled about the monologues they have, or aren't confident about how they perform them.
Whether you’re planning to audition for graduate school, are getting ready for season generals, or haven’t updated your audition package since you graduated, this class is for you.
The instructor will choose and help you prepare three monologues--two assigned contrasting contemporary pieces and a third type of your choice. You may choose either heightened text or an additional contemporary piece as your third monologue. Using their remarkable ability to discover pieces especially suited to each actor, they will guide you through developing monologues that are active, interesting, and that showcase your unique talent. By the end of class, you’ll have a new arsenal of crafted and rehearsed material, ready to hit the audition room.
Required: Prior experience and training, determined by headshot and resume, and audition for the instructor.

Kurt, a Juilliard grad, brings his 25 plus years worth of experience to his energetic and engaging classes.Testimonials
Kurt Naebig (Monologue In Person) always brought a spirit of excellence to class. He worked so diligently with each and every student - even when someone was struggling he never gave up and because of that all of us grew to be better actors in his class.
By the second class I felt very at home at ASC. Great energy from faculty, staff and students made it possible to feel comfortable quickly. That comfort makes you really want to go for it - taking risks with your work- and discovering more at a faster rate.

I love how Kurt Naebig stressed the importance of actors using actions and made it so clear as to how to use them in Monologue In Person. I've been studying acting for over a decade and actions have never really clicked until now! He also selected such good material for all of us and helped us find the humor in all of our pieces.

Kurt (Naebig - Monologue Online) always gave everyone a fair shot to work on their pieces. His feedback was helpful, thoughtful, and always respectful to whomever he was working with. He answered some of the questions that I didn't know how to ask.
