AUDITION BOOTCAMP

Marci's vast experience and knowledge, mixed with her great energy are a breath of fresh air for actors searching for answers. This is a workshop with real teaching happening!  I watched her change performances with one sentence.  Actors get so caught up in making sure we are doing it 'right' and giving them "what they want".  Marci reminds us that we have to be our unique selves or we're wasting our time.   

 "I have taken a lot of  classes and even produced a few and I have to say that Marci Liroff's Bootcamp is among the best of the best.  You get to go through the process of preparing your audition from First Read to Producer's Session.  Her feedback is honest and constructive, focusing on how the actor can best bring what is unique about themselves to the part, making your performance stand out from the others.

Marci also brings in great guests - Writers, Producers, Directors & Agents currently active in the business.  She stresses the dual focus of the industry: Craft & Business and how the successful actor works on both sets of skills."

Marci's Audition Bootcamp was an eye-opener for me. Want to know how casting directors think? Take this class. Want to learn how to prep a script for an audition? Take this class. Does going to auditions make you nervous? Take this class. Marci is an amazing teacher and coach. Her class is invaluable and I'd recommend it without hesitation to all my peers!

Marci's caring and respect for actors was evident the minute she stepped into the room.  The education I gained took my professionalism to the next level.  Thank you Marci.

"Marci helped me understand that casting directors are on our side and WANT us to succeed. She boosts your confidence while also being honest and straightforward. (That's a neat trick, by the way, Marci.) Her class is a helpful, entertaining mix of hands-on experience, industry insight, and personal career guidance. Not bad when you usually pay twice as much for half the information and opportunity!"

Marci's Audition Bootcamp gave me so much more than knowledge and experience with the audition process, I also learned how to continue researching on my own in order to improve my craft and confidence. I'm grateful that Marci didn't just give me instructions on how to fly, but helped me build my wings to fly higher.

"The title of Casting Director/Producer is obviously EARNED when you study her background. Before you journey into ANY casting office...learn what the BEST casting office would want to experience from you in the audition process. Start your adventure in front of Marci Liroff because of the multifaceted way she looks at each and every one us actors, how she holistically informs us to bring the choices we individually want to bring to the material.

"Whatever mistakes you make auditioning, you'll never make them again after Marci Liroff's Audition Bootcamp class."

After not working for 17 years prior to Marci’s Audition Bootcamp, I have been booking jobs nonstop from the moment the class ended.  If I could take the class over and over again, I would just to mine the nuggets of information from Marci and her lifetime in the real world of the Entertainment Business.  This training was an absolute boon for my acting career.  Marci is both forthcoming and heartfelt in her deep desire to impart practical experiences to move you forward in the business. In addition to the on-camera training, and industry guests, an added bonus is the camaraderie you will develop with the type of actors she attracts as well as the valuable opportunity to ask her all of your industry questions.  She has a lot to share and every moment spent with her is a treasure.  I recommend this class with the highest of praise.

"I highly recommend Marci Liroff's audition bootcamp class for actors at any level of experience.  She has a genuine love for actors and a great respect for the craft.  Her insights are clear and direct and I truly felt as though I was able to stretch with the material that I was given.  I am a better actor for having gone through this, and more empowered with knowledge on the audition and on the perspective from a top notch casting professional.  Plus, every class was taped and each actor was able to take home their work.  An added bonus!  Thanks Marci for giving me the space to play!"  

Working with Marci was an invaluable experience. In a unique format of classes, Marci has created a positive and encouraging learning environment which fosters creativity and growth. The weekly open 'actor forum' was highly encouraging and educational and the multiple special guest speakers were fascinating and truly inspiring. Marci truly wants her actors to work hard and be the best they can be. By participating in the ‘Audition Bootcamp’ and having Marci - a nurturing and generous mentor, guiding you along the way – I know I am well on the path of doing just that.

"Breaking walls is key to acting and Marci demolishes the fears and misconceptions of auditioning. She is the actors' casting director and wants you to shine as bright as you can. Professionalism is important in the industry but having character and exuding personality is what will make your performance memorable. Marci guides you into the reality of the script and helps you become a better messenger."

Marci Liroff is a powerful teacher, mentor, and coach. Thanks to her class, I was able to overcome business-related anxieties and reconnect with the truth that made me love acting so much in the first place. When I signed up, I expected to learn how to audition and book jobs - but to my surprise, Marci taught me so much more than that. I have spent thousands of dollars on business classes, marketing materials and acting coaches, but this class was truly the best investment I have made for my career so far. THANK YOU, Marci!

"Marci's Audition Bootcamp was exactly what I needed to better understand the anatomy of the audition. Her experience as a casting director and her wealth in character as a person make the class a delight and leave you with more than your money's worth. This is not a class where you are simply being preached at, rather, it is a forum for actors to share their experiences under the guidance of an industry veteran. I left the class feeling prepared to tackle auditions with a confident perspective and an appreciation for the good souls still thriving in this business."

From the beginning actor, to the working professional Marci makes you feel like all things can be possible with the right confidence and mindset-which she gives you!! Since she has been in this business for so long her abundance of knowledge makes you feel like you  can handle it all- knowledge is power ya'll!! Marci makes you part of the picture all while keeping her professionalism, class and love for it all!! Take her Bootcamp and RIGHT NOW!!

 "Marci's Bootcamp was an outstanding experience. She created a comfortable, inviting environment within which to work, and we had many helpful, insightful guests. Marci also gave us some great tips, strategies, and ways of preparing that I hadn't considered before, but will use from this day forward before entering an audition. It's the best class I've taken in years, and has had a direct result on helping my confidence in the audition room."

It has been a privilege for me to take Marci Liroff's Bootcamp Class. Marci's class provides a safe place where your creative mind and body are both nourished and challenged. I love the fact that she brings in working actors and directors to speak at her class. This enlightens the students on multiple in-depth points of view on the industry as a whole.  Marci covers almost every aspect of the actor’s career, from auditioning technique to the business of acting.  Thanks Marci

Marci is simply wonderful. Her Bootcamp is an amazing opportunity for anyone looking to sharpen their audition skills and understand how to be in the room. Not only does her perspective come from years of casting experience, but from an understanding and appreciation for actors which is simply amazing. She's a true gift and her Audition Bootcamp is a must!

I have never walked away from an audition class feeling so informed, confident, and knowledgeable than I have from Marci Liroff's Audition Bootcamp. By actually simulating the audition process from first read to a producers session, she breaks down the process with expertise advice, pure compassion, and genuine critique. Marci has such deep and rich experience in the business, she can connect with any actor on any level. If you are a serious actor and want the knowledge of how you can make or break your next audition, you need to attend a class with Marci Liroff.

I took Marci Liroff’s Audition Bootcamp and I cannot be happier that I did! She had an incredible amount of advice and information about the audition room that I had never heard before. After taking her class, I applied some of the things I learned to a few auditions and I felt that my performance and comfort level had both increased. I felt a confidence that I haven’t felt in a while and I credit it to her class. She brought in two industry professionals who also gave great insight from their own industry experiences that were such a bonus to her class. One of them was an actor himself, and he explained all of these very technical ways that he keeps track of his auditions and professionals in the industry that he knows. That information was a great tip and is helping me keep organized myself.

"Marci Liroff and her Bootcamp are a must if you want to act in Hollyweird. Marci is one of the rare people in this business who has a huge heart and cares about the project and the actors. She is an actor's casting director for sure and it is a pleasure to work with her as a filmmaker as well. She has a great eye for talent, she is honest, intuitive and supportive. I not only want to audition for her on any project she's doing, but I will be hiring her to cast my films as well. Bonus!"

"A wonderful mentor. Marci works with the best of the best, so she brings that experience into light with the new actors she meets. Being well grounded she looks at things from all perspectives and shares her keen insight. It's a welcome space for working actors to meet, grow and network within a positive environment. A lovely experience."

Your class was different: you care.  On an individual basis, you care.  The class size was perfect, your comments were spot on, and you encouraged us and showed us how things are from your side...you brought us in.  It was like having a friend show us the ropes.  And it wasn't all about impressing you with the faint chance of you calling us in for the role that will change our lives.  It was about learning, self improvement, and empowerment.  And us, as actors and people, taking control of our lives and giving ourselves accountability.

Marci is truly a gem! She is knowledgeable and involved in so many aspects of the business, it was a privilege to learn from her. Her Audition Bootcamp was priceless in taking us through the whole range of experiences in the audition process with guidance and help the whole way. Her feedback was not only spot on but inspired and made me feel more confident in my auditioning. Marci creates a community environment in the class and encourages learning from others as well as her. I feel that in a three week period I have gained a mentor and a colleague, a rare treat!

"I had a wonderful experience taking Marci's Audition Bootcamp. I learned more in 3 sessions than I have in any other acting class. Marci was very informative and gave great feedback that I would definitely incorporate towards my work in the future. I highly recommend taking Marci's Audition Bootcamp! Thanks Marci!"

"Marci's Audition Bootcamp was such a wonderful experience. Not only did I get great advice and feedback from Marci, but from all of the incredible guests she brought to class. Marci's class was very personal, and she paid special attention to each and every one of us. I strongly recommend this workshop to both beginning and advanced working actors."

I took Marci Liroff's Audition Boot Camp. It was one of the best classes I've taken as an actress. I don't even consider it a class but more like "Tools For Life as an Actor". It gets to the brass tacks of how it really goes and holds no punches. I grew as a person as well as an actor.  Thank you Marci!

This is truly one of the best classes I've been to in all the time I've been in LA.  She also gives valuable insights on how the whole industry works, so that you can better understand why things happen the way they do. It was the best investment I could have made towards my career. And I believe it's no coincidence that after learning the tools that Marci taught me, I booked a cable network job on the first audition I applied them to.

Marci has well over three decades of experience casting for the heavy hitters of American cinema, and it shows. I've taken a number of helpful auditioning courses with some great instructors, keeping up with industry standards the best they can. But Marci's the first instructor I've been to who actually sets those standards. Her classes are selective in who they enroll, which as an experienced actor, I appreciated. You're getting the inside scoop from a major industry pro, rather than the elementary basics in those courses aimed at beginners. It's a completely different level. It also means you'll be watching more enjoyable performances from your classmates, thank god. Marci has a keen sense for what works and what doesn't in a performance and knows exactly how to communicate it. She also has an almost supernatural ability of knowing when an actor is struggling for a line before they've even realized it themselves. She gives constructive and to-the-point criticism, but only when necessary. Her sharp eye for a good performance tells her when to leave well enough alone, which is something I've rarely seen in any class. I'd recommend her course for anyone serious about the business of acting.

While I consider myself to be a good actor, I've often struggled with the audition process. Marci's Audition Bootcamp was a game changer for me. The specific and tactical guidance she shares on owning the audition process and getting rid of your walls changed the way I look at my trajectory--not 'just' as an actor, but as a person. 

Thank you Marci for a wonderful master class. Time just flew by which meant that the class was amazing. I personally learned a lot from you, as well as from the guest speakers who were top notch incredible. What a plus! I love that you are so professional and it really pushed me to be my best. Your classes are the real deal; informative, truthful, and fun!

It's the unknown that makes this business scary and Marci not only demystified the process, but also gave one a sense of empowerment; giving me permission to do what I love, which is help filmmakers bring characters to life they have created on the page.

I took Marci's Audition Bootcamp because of a video I had seen on her site, in which she very wisely reminds actors to switch their perspective in the audition. She points out that from the get-go, you as an actor need to view yourself as a collaborator with other filmmakers, who very much want you to succeed. Her obvious care for actors, her compassion, wisdom, and the way she articulated her message, were all motivating factors for me to sign up for the course, and were all clearly present within the course itself. She immediately put us at ease with her warmth, humor, and humanity, and encouraged the same in us. We learned so much valuable insider wisdom, do's and don't's from a casting director's personal perspective, insights into the power of body language and energy, and even got a glimpse into what the casting breakdowns look like from the other side. The guest speakers were also a great bonus -- we got to hear anecdotes and honest straight talk about casting, acting, and the business. The most valuable thing I took away from the class was a re-kindling of my love for the process of acting and and a new appreciation for the auditioning process itself. Thanks to Marci, I will always approach my auditions from hereon in as another opportunity to play. That's a game-changer, and I'm very grateful to have been reminded of it. 

If you're debating whether or not to sign up for Marci's Bootcamp: DO IT. Not only is Marci's experience and insight invaluable, but she brings in guest speakers to reaffirm and add to the wealth of information she provides. This class will keep you accountable and make sure the next time you go into an audition, you're booking the room-- not just booking a role.

I couldn't describe it any more purely. Marci's 3 week Bootcamp was all and more than what I expected.

Her wealth, knowledge and passion for actors was refreshing and humbling. She has an incredible respect for the craft and is also personable with you regarding the work you do within the weeks. I've truly found a mentor in Marci and am happy to say I walked away with not only knowledge I need to know on the craft as an actress but a casting director/producer/director perspective and how they also go about the process of this business. It was a bonus to also have some amazing special guests join the bootcamp. I highly recommend Marci Bootcamp to any actors who want to go that step further of gaining strong feedback in your work as an actor but anyone thats passionate about truly understanding the 'business' of the entertainment world.

Taking Marci's class was one of the smartest moves I've made since moving to LA.  She truly cares about actors and wants to help in every way possible.  I have a new outlook on auditions after seeing how much Marci, as a casting director, wants actors to succeed in the audition room.  She answers all questions and gives guidance from her vast experience with actors, directors, producers, and other casting directors.  She creates a safe space to take risks, ask questions, and learn.  This safe space also allowed me to create bonds with other actors in the class and expand my network even more.  I'm thrilled to say that I've found a mentor in Marci and that I now have new tools to confidently tackle any audition that comes my way!

"Marci is so much more than a Casting Director. After being cast in a project by her, working with her privately and in class, Marci has become a much needed teacher and mentor in a difficult business that can leave an actor feeling frustrated and confused. She truly wants us to succeed, and I am forever grateful to her for sharing her vast knowledge with me." 

"Just buy it. Go to the page and buy it. NOW. What a great DVD for everyone, from beginner to experienced. I hate the waiting room, I've always said it was the worst part about auditioning. Fear the wait no more! Great tips for what you can expect and what is expected of you. Here in Detroit, we have found ourselves suddenly meeting and being seen by people that many elsewhere would kill to audition for. She answers questions that we aren't allowed to ask because "we should know that already!"

I highly recommend every actor to have Marci Liroff's Audition BootCamp DVD! Marci answers every question I ever had on how to give a great audition! I know now that I have a new found confidence and knowledge the next time I go on an audition! I wanted to try a self-taped audition but I didn't know how to - but now I do! Thank You to Marci Liroff for this DVD! I give It 10 Stars!

"Marci's DVD is a must have in any actor's arsenal. No matter what level you are at, Marci breaks down all the myths and facts about casting and what you need to do as an actor to get the job. It's like you have a private one on one coaching session with her! Thank you so much Marci,  for not only sharing your wealth of knowledge but for being a fan of the actor."

"Initially, I purchased Marci's AUDITION BOOTCAMP DVD (Part One) out of love for the movies she cast, really. I was curious to hear her input about the casting process. But I'm glad I did, because there is so much helpful information in it! Other than the Audition Bootcamp Part, the DVD includes a part with helpful Tips to apply in the casting room, and a third part about How To Tape Yourself step by step instructions. Highly recommended!!"

Marci Liroff demystifies the audition process with extremely practical information. Only an industry insider could provide such an accurate and insightful methodology. This DVD is worth much more than I paid!!

"If you've ever stood in an audition room and wondered, "What are the casting people thinking?"... Guess no more.  Marci's DVD not only tells you how casting directors think, but tells you exactly what to do to make them think of you as a true professional. No more hoping you're doing the right thing.  Here are step by step instructions on how to handle most any audition situation.  Marci tells you how to take care of all the "business" stuff and leaves you free to hone your skill and talent. This DVD will save you years of trial and error. I wish I had this when I first started out."

"Marci Liroff's "Audition Bootcamp Part One" DVD is a must for beginning as well as experienced actors. It breaks down not only what you do to sabotage yourself at auditions, but it also shows you what to can do at auditions to make a good impression. I love how the DVD is organized and the bonuses included in the DVD. This is an investment that will pay big dividends!!"

Marci Liroff's "Bootcamp Audition" DVD is a must for every actor. I have been an Agent for over 12 years and the information on this DVD is a great resource. If you are a new to the business or a long time veteran, this DVD is a must have.

I'm an actor (SAG since 1976) and also worked for ten years as an asst./associate casting director in N.Y. and L.A. This is a terrific DVD. The wealth of experience and information is invaluable. She gives it to you straight. It helped me personally with an acting audition I had last week. I also lead an audition workshop here in Honolulu and have recommended it to my students. If you're an actor just starting out or whether you've been around the block a few times, you need this DVD. and I ain't blowin' smoke."

I received my DVD copy yesterday and after watching it I firmly believe that this is a MUST have for all actors. Marci was able to do something that no institution was able to do. She effectively constructed a blue print on how to successfully brand your product, packaged it in an easy to follow format, and made it available for every...one in all demographics. 

"The Marci Liroff DVD is a must have for actors. It's part of that set of tools in your tool bag or those arrows in your quiver that you need to get a better understanding about the business we're in. This is the next best thing to being in her studio and her immediate presence!"

"Marci Liroff's Audition Bootcamp DVD - Imagine sitting down with a major casting director and having the opportunity to ask every question that comes to mind. That is how I felt when I watched Marci Liroff's Audition Bootcamp DVD. Marci gives actors the tools to do their best in auditions. There is so much I didn't know that I learned from this DVD, and I've been acting since I was little! If you want to take charge of your career, you NEED to get Marci Liroff's Audition Bootcamp DVD!!"

I always wanted to know what casting directors look for, and now I know. The DVD is the ultimate audition guide. There's an abundance of valuable advice and tips for anyone serious about acting. I think those who have this DVD will definitely have an advantage by knowing what to do to prepare and knowing all the dos and don'ts. It has helped demystify the audition process for me.

The information presented in the DVD is very straight forward and easy to understand. I know I will definitely watch this again and put into practice all that I learn from it. Thank you Marci for putting together such a valuable resource!

Wow... wonderful digestible golden nuggets of info. It felt very much like meeting a caring friend for coffee and getting insider tips.  I have  always read in acting books that the CD is on the actor's side, they called you in for a reason, they want you to do well.  You discussed this and now I feel 100% fantastic.  I just need to be prepared, be good, and walk away.  I can control being prepared, being good and I can also control walking away. You pointed out so many reasons that things could not feel right in the room (lost financing, producer's son in the hospital, etc.)  We shouldn't try to read anything into things out of our control.  I don't know why but just hearing that made me feel so much better.

I also loved the tips on eco casting.  I have booked many roles (or got called in) from self taping but I always send my audition off a bit worried.  You cleared up every question I had.  Now I will send those auditions off with an air of confidence.

Watching Marci's DVD is like having a friend pull you aside after they've auditioned and fill you in on what the casting director was looking for. She gives you all the information you need to prepare to do your personal best! Although it would be great to take a class with Marci in person, the beauty of the DVD is that you can pause it or go back over something if you missed a point while taking notes, without feeling like an idiot by saying, "I'm sorry, could you repeat that?" (I took twelve pages of notes!) Marci has the experience to back up what she teaches, plus you can tell she truly cares about actors and wants them to do their best. Thanks Marci!"

"Marci's DVD includes not only valuable information for auditions, but for future approaches in pursuing future roles. Coming from a professional casting director it is a primary source of information that is a wise and beneficial investment to any actor who takes their craft and working career seriously."

I am so glad I decided to get the Marci Liroff DVD! I've gotten so many tips on ways to improve my auditions and I have yet to finish watching the whole DVD. Not to mention, I tried a few tips in my last audition and have a call back. SERIOUSLY! I'm SO EXCITED! THANK YOU MARCI! I can't wait to finish the DVD, replay an...d probably end up living all my auditions by it!!!

 Marci, I love your DVD! This is like an entire season of crucial info packed into one package. You have a comfortable presentation style (give me a moment) OK, your style is a pleasure to listen to and you often present a fresh perspective on the solid basics as well as bringing fresh insights to the actor. I highly recommend that actors add this to their arsenal of study materials! I will watch this again and again. Thank you!

Wow! Marci really helps to demystify the casting process. The principles that she talks about in Audition Bootcamp are universally true whether you are auditioning in LA, New York or here in Toronto. I especially loved the section on self-taping. We have the technology today to show filmmakers all over the world what we can do but we have to use the technology properly to present ourselves in the best possible light. Marci shows us how. I have been to casting director workshops in the past and always got the impression that the workshop was mainly a device to generate revenue during slow periods in the industry.  But with Marci you know you are being taught by someone who truly likes and respects actors and wants them to be at their best.  I loved the video and I will be sure to recommend it to my Canadian actor friends.  Thanks Marci.

Marci's DVD was not only incredibly informative, but she presents very complicated information in an organized, very well designed, and easy to follow format. It is a must for everyone already involved with, or wanting to begin their venture into, the entertainment industry. This is the best investment anyone can make--it certainly was for me.

"Marci Liroff's Audition Bootcamp is a must-have dvd in your acting bag of tricks! All of the information is presented in a clear and concise way that provides an actor/actress with just about all of the rules needed to ensure success during an audition. Of course there will be the occasional exception to the rule, but, Marci Liroff provides you with the strongest foundation possible to begin your auditions from."
