2

Manic Laughter — From soft and creepy to full-on maniacal. Let’s hear it.

3

Overdramatic Cry — Channel your inner dramatic actor. Sob it out.

4

Zoned Out Psych Patient — Blank stare, slow movement, disconnected from reality.

5

Twitchy Psych Patient — Erratic, unpredictable, unhinged energy.

6

Lines — Deliver scripted lines based on our character types.

7

Monster Noises & Movements — Show us how you move as a creature. Physicality is everything.

Optional Monologue — Come prepared with a 1 minute monologue if you're really interested in a speaking/dramatic role.
