WORKSHOP FORMAT

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

Ben will send out a selection of sides for you to choose from regardless gender, age and ethnicity before the workshop. Ben would like participants to be as familiar with text as possible.

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