Lewis Baumander Acting Studio and Casting Central have teamed together to present practical and useful woskshops aimed at increasing the castability of actors.
SELF-TAPE WORKSHOP - September 23rd and 25th -
Whether we like it or not the Self Tape is here to stay. There will be more of it as the cost of flying becomes prohibitive, and producers shift the expense of the audition on to the actor. It is getting very expensive. There is not much we can do about that but we can make the quality of the work you do worth that expense by sending out a quality audition.
Unfortunately too many of the self tapes that are sent do not reflect the quality or ability of the actor sending it. Little to none of the actors training has prepared them for shooting sometimes 8-10 pages in 30 minutes. The taped audition could be doing more harm than good.
Next Workshop Dates: Fri Sept 23rd & Sun Sept 25th, 2011 Next Workshop Guest: TBA Past Guests Include: Jason Knight, Dierdre Bowen & Marissa Richmond
