Demystifying Taped Auditions | Adult

For the vast majority of actors, taping an audition is an experience riddled with questions. Did I make the right choice? Should I have done something different? What is casting going to think?

Demystifying Taped Auditions brings actors inside the casting room and into the minds of the decision makers who review these tapes for a living and decide who moves on to production…and who does not. Having the opportunity to work in person with Jami Rudofsky (Gilmore Girls, Grown Ups 2) & Christy Faison (The Newsroom, CBS’s SEAL Team), actors will gain invaluable perspective and tools from two of LA’s most well established casting directors, and see firsthand how their own taped auditions match up against the competition.

THIS Two hour WORKSHOP WILL COVER:

Actors upload sample self-tape auditions of their choice to a dropbox folder (either one they’ve done in the past or one specifically for this workshop, 1-2 min in length). During the workshop, all tapes will be reviewed. Jami and Christy will analyze each of the tapes, focusing on aspects like: heightening your craft; getting in character, analyzing scripts, bringing yourself to every role, and much more. The workshop will culminate with a Q&A discussing the overall process.
