The Mental Game of Auditioning workshop uses video recordings in real time of student mock auditions, as well as teach the actor how to not get intimidated in front of casting directors and producers. The workshop will take place at Los Kabayitos Theater, on the second floor of the CSV Cultural and Educational Center (home to HOLA) on Wednesday and Thursday, February 17 and 18, 2010 from 7-9pm both nights. Hermán Chaves is a bicoastal actor and teaches privately. Film and TV credits include Taxi, Shelter, Apartment 5c, "24," "Invasion," "ER," "The Sopranos," "Law & Order," "Law & Order SVU" and "Third Watch."

The Spanish Language Voiceover Workshop will take place at the HOLA office on Tuesdays and Thursdays between March 9 and March 25, 2010 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. Manuel Herrera, actor, voiceover artist, director, producer and HOLA's longtime Special Projects Director and Rights Acquisitions/Director Audio Libros at Recorded Books in Manhattan will conduct the class. Voiceovers in Spanish are one of the fastest growing fields in this industry and this workshop gets filled quickly.

Both workshops will take place at 107 Suffolk Street (between Rivington and Delancey streets) in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, NYC. Workshop class size is limited.
