+ WORKSHOP FORMAT
This is a 'script delivery' audition masterclass. Duration - 3 hours.
Script audition technique: This session is designed to build your confidence on handling new script in an audition setting, give you the tools to go into castings feeling empowered about working with the director on the material and take direction on scripts just handed to you in the room.
Areas covered include - Sight reading, improvisation, ability to take direction, ability to create characterisation from the script in hand, listening & reading techniques.
Q&A: This masterclass will conclude with a Q&A during which time you can discuss the casting process with us, ask any questions around auditions and casting in general, as well as work through physical examples of what a 'casting jigsaw' looks like.
{This workshop adheres to CDG guidelines and isn’t an audition}.
