WORKSHOP FORMAT
Having looked at your Spotlight CV and Showreel, Finnian Tweed will send out a selection of scenes before the workshop. Please choose a scene that suits you best regardless of gender, age and ethnicity. Finnian would like you to be as familiar with the text as possible.
Following an introduction, participants will film their tape with Finnian under audition conditions (with the whole group present). We have superb equipment for the best learning experience. Finnian 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.
{This workshop adheres to CDG guidelines and isn’t an audition}.
