We’re looking for a range of emotion! Think classic horror films, The Strangers, A Cabin in the Woods, The Haunting of Hill House. Make sure we can see you portraying fun/having a good time, anger, and DEFINITELY how you portray being scared (this is a horror film!). A monologue from a horror film might be a good place to start! If you need to break up your audition into 3 sections (fun/anger/fear), feel free to do so. Please keep tapes under 3 minutes long.
