+ 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.

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}.

BEN'S BIO

Ben Cogan has worked in casting for over 23 years. He began as a casting assistant for many shows (including Eastenders, Holby City and Waking the Dead) before becoming the casting director for Doctors in 2002. 380 episodes later, Ben moved to Casualty, and, in his time there, 6 episodes that he worked on were recognised with BAFTA nominations. During this period he also worked on the Afternoon Play series, Kiss of Death and various short films - one of which (Wish 143) was nominated for an Oscar. Since going freelance in 2015 Ben has cast numerous films including the award winning, Just Charlie, Trendy, Evie, Old Windows, The Outing, Lady M, Bellmouth and TV shows such as BAFTA nominated Apple Tree House as well as the additional child casting of His Dark Materials. Last year Ben celebrated the release of the feature: 'Love Without Walls' and is looking forward to the 2024 releases of the features: 'Hunted' and 'One Night In Bath' ... he is currently working on a host of other projects in development.
