Questions and Answers for Non-Members
Why does One on One require two monologues for the new membership audition?
Showing more then 1 monologue allows the director to advise you on which work shows off your talent the best for auditions. Also One on One's mission is to create a community of trained, professional actors who are prepared to meet industry guests. Having more than 1 monologue shows us that not only have you prepared for this audition, but that you are ready to join the level of skilled and competent actors who make One on One unique from other actors' services.
Who are the guests coming in for the One on One Private Appointments?
Our detailed schedule of classes and private One on One Private Appointments is exclusive to our members, available in the Members Only section. One on One brings in guests from all of the top NYC agencies, the busiest casting offices (for example, ABC Primetime, Hopkins Smith and Barden, Lynn Kressel Casting) and Independent Filmmakers with award-winning films in Sundance, Tribeca, and Toronto film festivals, to name a few.
Is the cost always $35 for One on One Private Appointments?
We also offer Private Appointment Packages (e.g., 5-30 packs and a one-year unlimited package that offers substantial savings on regularly priced private appointments.
I already have representation, why would I need One on One?
For the actor with representation, developing relationships at One on One with working casting directors and film makers has proven to be extremely helpful. In fact many agents refer their actors to One on One to build these relationships as well as sharpen their skills.
