WORKSHOP FORMAT

We will pass on your Spotlight CV to Rick Laxton. This workshop will focus on day player auditions.

Small parts are vital roles in any TV programme that is being cast. They’re often the first TV credit actors gain, and many actors audition for parts of this size throughout their careers. But they’re surprisingly tricky roles to nail in a casting room. It’s a different and difficult skill to get right. This workshop with Casting Director Rick Laxton will use practical script work to explore approaches to these roles, examining what Casting Directors are looking for, and what actors can do to increase their chances of success.

There will then be a live Zoom session where participants will perform their chosen scene live with a reader. Rick will give everyone a few notes before shooting a second take. This will be followed by an informal group "Q&A".

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