The Audiobook Audition:

Workshop Feedback

Thank you for joining The Audiobook Audition with Khai Dattoli and The Focused Actor!

At TFA, we believe you should walk away from class with more than just feedback on a particular set of sides. We want you to leave with practical tools, fresh perspectives, and a better understanding of how to approach your work; things you can actually use in future auditions and projects, even when there's no one there to guide you.

That's a big part of why we designed this particular format and we'd love your honest feedback. We want to know what worked, what could be better, and how we can continue creating useful learning experiences for actors and narrators.

This survey should take approximately 5–7 minutes.

Please be candid! Your feedback will help shape future workshops, and we won't publish your comments without your permission.

It could be a technique, a change in your approach, or something you hadn't considered before. How would you use it? If nothing comes to mind yet, that's helpful to know too—tell us what would help you feel more prepared.

9. Beyond anything you've already mentioned, is there something we could have done differently to improve your learning experience?

This could be something that remains unclear, something about the instruction, organization, materials, communication, or anything we haven't asked about. If nothing comes to mind, that's helpful to know too!
