WORKSHOP FORMAT
Following an introduction, participants will film their tape with Shakyra under audition conditions (with the whole group present). We have superb equipment for the best learning experience. Shakyra will give each participant notes allowing them the chance to do a second take. This will be followed by a short tea break and an informal Q&A.
Shakyra will tailor sides to specifically suit you. Shakyra would like participants to be as familiar with text as possible.
{This workshop adheres to CDG guidelines and isn’t an audition}.
