Synopsis

Based on the popular workshop of the same name, Audition Psych 101 takes a detailed, unvarnished look at the mental gremlins that can make auditioning stressful. With frankness, humor, and a pro-actor sensibility, professional working actor Michael Kostroff (The Wire, The Deuce, Luke Cage, The Blacklist, Law & Order: SVU, etc.) explodes commonly accepted mythologies and offers a fresh, more logical, and more effective approach to the whole process. Speaking directly to other professional actors, Kostroff pulls each step into slow motion, shining a light into the dark corners in search of those little snags that can screw us up.
"It has completely changed the way I view auditions."
— Chad Manuel, Chicago
"Want to learn why we constantly get in our own way before we even set foot in the room? Michael has made a detailed, brilliant study of the most common traps, and how to avoid them."
— Peter Van Norden, Los Angeles
"Michael’s expertise, sense of humor, and just old-fashioned good sense does the impossible: It actually makes the actor comfortable with the audition process."
— J. R. Orlando, San Jose
"I’m a psychotherapist who specializes in working with creative artists. Among many other issues, we always talk about their audition anxiety. In Audition Psych 101, Michael Kostroff has validated everything I believe about the audition process. Let him save you a lot of disappointment and frustration."
— Lee D. Kassan, psychotherapist/psychoanalyst
"It brought the joy and fun back into the audition process, which ultimately has allowed for more callbacks and many more bookings."
— Mick Guire, New York City
"I can’t wait for my next audition. (Holy mackerel, did I just write that?)"
— Deborah Linehan, New York Cit
