Students react to a recent Faith Prince master-class at Auburn State Theater
Faith was beyond generous in sharing her personal career experiences with us. Her grounded insights and tips on creating opportunities to shine as a performer were practical and delivered with a wit, passion, and sincerity that was unexpected, but so welcomed. She truly inspired us! – Amy Linden
She had so many great tips and stories but I most enjoyed her tips about finding your character’s dilemma and stakes, finding the reality in your character, and the quote "Luck is when hard work meets opportunity.” – Taylor Hart
She talked about the thought processes she used when going into an audition and the research she did before an audition to bring all she could to a potential role. Her ‘can do’ attitude was obviously a plus when pursuing a part. She set her goals and focused on getting there while being helpful, positive, supportive and kind to others. This brought her roles that she had not expected. —Grace Earl
