On-Camera Casting Workshop
American Casting Director, Nancy Bishop, is offering two casting workshops for actors interested in working in American and British films. The workshops, taught in English, will focus on techniques and strategies for success in film castings. Many actors say, “I’m just bad at castings.” This is often true; many good actors don’t cast well, but the good news is that you can do something about it. Casting is a skill that can be learned and improved.
CASTING WORKSHOP I: will cover how actors can present themselves, what directors look for from actors, and how to tackle dialogue in a casting. Participants will watch and critique actual castings, and perform a scene from a film script for camera. All actors will get one on one coaching with Nancy.
ADVANCED CASTING WORKSHOP: For returning students there is the Advanced Workshop. Anyone who has taken Workshop I and wishes to continue practising scene work for camera may attend. This class explores scene analysis and performances in a variety of genres. Each actor will perform two scenes from different genres (for example one Sci Fi and one comedic).
