Join us for a full day behind the scenes of a ‘casting session’ where each actor will have the opportunity to audition in front of the class and receive adjustments, critique and feedback from casting. You will have the opportunity to prepare two scenes prior to the workshop and a cold-read scene on the day. All participants will receive one-on-one feedback at the end of the day and be sent home with a link to their taped scenes and a personal evaluation.

This workshop will provide participants with valuable insight into the audition process with specific feedback from Melissa. Actors will gain useful auditioning techniques and learn how to impress casting directors with confidence, knowledge & preparation. The workshop also covers business, self-tape prep & technique and how to market yourself successfully.
Actors will be chosen by the casting director and the class has a maximum of 10 participants.
