+ WORKSHOP FORMAT

Casting Director Matt Western will send out the full script of his screenplay prior to the sessions. You will then choose a scene regardless of age, gender and ethnicity! We have superb equipment for the best learning experience. Matt will give each participant notes allowing them the chance to do a second take (at least). This will be followed by a short tea break and an informal Q&A.

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!
