COMING SOON!
Are you getting ready for an audition where you’re going for the role of a doctor? Nurse? Another profession in the medical field?
If so, I bet you’ve got some medical jargon in your script. Maybe lots. Tons. Perhaps it’s more than half the side.
It’s no secret that medical jargon can be intimidating.
And auditions aren’t terribly fun to begin with.
I’m working on putting together a class on some of the basic medical jargon you’re likely to encounter, from pronunciations to context.
How am I qualified to teach this? You may ask…
I’m not a doctor. I haven’t had any official training in the medical field. However, I’ve been a standardized patient for nearly a decade and a standardized patient trainer for about three.
And I speak actor 🙂
A standardized patient, or SP, is an actor who works with medical, nursing, physician assistant, and dental students to give them a well-rounded education. So, I play patients with ailments, retain script info, improv appropriately, and know enough jargon they might use to steer them towards laypersons’ terms. Then oftentimes, complete a checklist to grade the student, and guess what? That checklist can be riddled with jargon.
As such, I’ve become more acquainted with medical lingo than I ever anticipated. I’d love to share with you what I’ve learned. I’d really like to make that audition smoother for ya.
If this is a class you’d be interested in, sign up for my newsletter (just over there to your upper right) to be the first to know when it’s happening.
If your audition is around the corner and I don’t have classes set up (or would prefer a private lesson), please get in touch. We can get you prepared, so you walk into that audition room with confidence!
