Drama teachers: booking audition preparation coaching
How drama teachers can let actors and students book audition coaching online: one-to-one sessions, monologue prep, mock auditions and video self-tapes.
5 min read
An audition date arrives, and the actor or drama school applicant wants coaching this week. Put audition preparation on your booking page as its own services, so they book a session the moment they get the call, even late at night. You see in the note what the audition is and when, and you plan the sessions back from that date.
Services for audition work
On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description shown on your public page, and each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.
| Service | Example slot | Places | Example price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Audition coaching, one-to-one | 1 h | 1 | €55 |
| Monologue preparation | 45 min | 1 | €45 |
| Mock audition with feedback | 1 h | 1 | €60 |
| Self-tape session | 1 h | 1 | €50 |
Durations and prices are examples: set your own.
What to ask in the note
The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the actor's calendar file. Ask in the description for:
- the audition: drama school, production, agent or casting;
- the date of the audition;
- the pieces required, such as one classical and one contemporary monologue;
- whether they need a self-tape.
A series before the date
After the first session, book the next ones yourself from your bookings list, with a mock audition close to the date. First and last name are enough; if you enter their email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file for each session. Slots repeat each week on the weekdays you choose until an end date, so your coaching hours stay open around your classes.
Drama school season
Drama school auditions fall in a set season. Open extra slots for those weeks with an end date, and keep your regular hours for the rest of the year.
Self-tapes
For self-tapes, say in the description what you provide, such as a reader, a backdrop or lighting, and whether the actor should bring their own phone. If you coach by video, create a separate service: Book doesn't create video links, so send yours by email.
When the audition moves
Actors can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and rescheduling works across services, so a coaching session can become a mock audition. Book doesn't take payments or send reminders. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
