WORKSHOP FORMAT

Having looked at your Spotlight CV and Showreel, Gemma will send you a specific scene from a TV drama she has cast to look at a day or two before the workshop. Each actor will read through their scene for the group and Gemma will offer feedback and the opportunity for participants to work the notes into a second reading.

This workshop offers the opportunity to master the process from the moment you walk through the door - what is expected of an actor in the room, how to master the self-tape and how to hone technical audition skills. There will be opportunity for questions to be answered as they come up during the workshop as well as a Q&A towards the end of the session.

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