+ WORKSHOP FORMAT

Following an introduction, participants will film their tape with Sophie under audition conditions (with the whole group present). We have superb equipment for the best learning experience. Sophie 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.

Sophie will tailor sides to specifically suit you. Sophie would like participants to be as familiar with text as possible.

Your scenes will be recorded with broadcast quality equipment. Upon request, you have the option to receive your footage after the session for no extra cost!

{This workshop adheres to CDG guidelines and isn’t an audition}.

SOPHIE'S BIO

Having started in video and audio production, talent management and extras casting, Sophie began casting for theatre and commercials in 2015, then moved into film and TV casting in 2017. She has worked most closely with Rose Wicksteed, co-casting projects like 'Jack Ryan' (Paramount), 'Invasion' (Apple+) and 'Black Cake' (Hulu). Other significant projects include 'The Nun' and 'The Nun II' (New Line), 'Homeland' (Fox 21 for Showtime) 'Escape Room' (Sony Pictures) and 'The Great' (Hulu).

As well as working closely with Rose, Sophie has cast several short films, including Academy Award and BAFTA qualifying 'Edicius' (dir. Uzo Oleh) and '5 Stars' (dir.

She also voice-cast 'Lusus', a fiction horror podcast series for BBC Sounds which featured voice work from Morfydd Clark, Patsy Ferran and Ncuti Gatwa. Her latest work includes horror series 'The Faceless Lady', a first-of-its-kind viewing experience filmed for VR viewers on Meta's Horizon World's headsets, produced by Eli Roth and co-cast with Lucy Jordan.
