Twenty actors met with Brian Drillinger at The Rehearsal Room over two days and shared their experiences. Brian’s enthusiatic commitment to performance was infectious and there were many experiences shared. Brian had stories of a successful audition for a Neil Simon’s play on Broadway while others contributed their memorable audition experiences. Both gatherings were enjoyable, inspiring and productive.

As a result a 6-week Voice Class is being held on Tuesday nights at The Rehearsal Room. A number of other actors have booked private lessons with Brian. For those interested there is still opportunity to do private lessons as he is staying in Melbourne until the middle of December.

The Rehearsal Room focuses on building productive performance skills to help actors stand out. Its aim is to enable actors to identify their tasks clearly, to be believable while they are executing them and to be able to successfully make quick changes.

SUSAN POPOV has been exploring the Rehearsal Room way for over a year now. She recently wrote “Just letting you know I got the presenting gig we talked about last night…. another Rehearsal Room process success.” Good acting performance process will work for a presenter as well.
