CAST YOURSELF: AUDITION TECHNIQUE FOR TV + FILM

In this course, actors will dissect and demystify the on-camera auditioning process with one of Atlanta’s most experienced casting directors (and former actor). Expect tips on how to create dynamic, personal, and active self tapes or in-person call backs with clear, active choices, grounded in truth. We will also cover everything “outside of the acting” from industry standard lighting, sound, to backgrounds and much more. We’ll create a basic road map for any audition by exploring objectives, obstacles, actions, and storytelling arc. We’ll practice receiving notes and re-directs. Slates and cold reads will also be explored, and we’ll reserve time each week for general questions about the biz!
