Los Angeles Talent Manager Steven Rodriguez, of McGowan-Rodriguez Management, will return to The Actor Factory for the first time in nearly two years. He will present his Audition Technique weekend intensive live and in person in Studio 2, Saturday and Sunday, September 13-14 from 9 am - 5 pm both days. Only 20 participants aged 18+ are able to attend.

He had a sold-out weekend last time he visited the Factory and we expect another one.

Steven is a former actor who studied under the great William Esper, and brings Esper's approach to his teaching. He is a giving, caring, but also no-nonsense acting teacher and talent manager.

"Steven is fantastic at pushing actors to not settle for the obvious choices, but to keep digging to make auditions more vibrant, real and truthful," said Factory director and founder Chris Freihofer. "For 30 years he has been a top talent manager in Los Angeles, guiding the careers of dozens and dozens of working pros."

In this workshop, students will use scripted material and will perform at least 4 times during the weekend. He will give students the expectation of what he expects to see from actors in LA when considering representation.

There will be plenty of time in the weekend for Q&A, and Steven will break down the current market, how LA is fairing in this climate, and the current trends and opportunities. Bring your questions, be ready to take notes, and roll up your sleeves to get to work.

Cost for the weekend is $395. To reserve your seat now, just pay a $100 non-refundable deposit, with the balance due September 1.
