From Lisa Anne Porter -

Here’s a listing of her classes that are open to the public:

The Big Picture: Ongoing Voice and Text Class
The ongoing class is continuing and this next section of twelve weeks will be focusing upon auditions and include work on
standard audition pieces, cold reading and prepared callbacks. As with the classic ongoing The Big Picture, the two hour class
will begin with a vocal and physical warm up that prepares you to do your best work. Then the second half of class will focus
upon the specifics of bringing your fullest, most relaxed, energized self into your audition text be it monologue, scene or cold
reading. All students will leave class with at least two solid pieces for general auditions as well as greater insight in how to
prepare. Class meets from 9:00 am - 11:00 am on Wednesdays starting 1/14. The cost is $375.00 for ten out of twelve classes.
Classes will be held at Yoga to the People, 64 Shattuck Square, Berkeley, CA, right across from the Downtown Berkeley BART
station. To reserve a spot, e-mail Lisa Anne Porter at lisaanneporter@yahoo.com. You can also view more information about
