Casting and Actors exist in a symbiotic relationship, and yet that connection is often fraught with unknowns and defensiveness:
- What does Casting want?
- Why am I not being seen?
- How can I stand out amongst my peers?
- Where is my feedback?!
This in-depth learning experience will demystify the Casting process, peel back the curtain on audition expectations, and ultimately help actors manage their mindset regarding their Casting partners and the audition process. Participants can expect realistic exercises, direct feedback on their work and mindset guidance; performers will walk away with a variety of practical tools to take into their future auditions.
