ONSCREEN AUDITIONMASTERCLASS
BERLIN
Tuesday, 10 February, 2015
CSA casting directors Nancy Bishop and Luci Lenox will team up in Berlin to teach an intensive one-day master class.
In this unique Masterclass, actors will have the opportunity to improve auditioning skills in English and make valuable connections for international work.
The class will be divided into half day sessions:
Session 1: Feedback on Self Taped Audition clips and show reels:
Self-taped auditions are increasingly prevalent in the industry and actors are expected to have the
skills to effectively present themselves. Actors will be assigned scenes to tape in advance and will
bring them to the class on a USB stick for professional feedback from Luci Lenox. Actors are
welcome to bring demo tapes, headshots and CVs for feedback as well.
Session 2: Cold Reading Technique:
Nancy Bishop will teach the techniques outlined in her book, Secrets from the Casting Coach,
leading actors through a series of exercises that strategize how to approach new material. This half
of the class will focus on how to tackle unknown texts when there is not much time to prepare.
Nancy Bishop, CSA, has cast supporting talent on nearly one hundred films from her base in
Prague such as Mission Impossible IV, Snowpiercer, Bourne Identity, and the recently released The
November Man, starring Pierce Brosnan. She just finished work on Unlocked, directed by Michael
Apted and starring Michael Douglas and Orlando Bloom. Nancy was nominated for an Emmy Award
for her work on Anne Frank, The Whole Story. An internationally recognized acting coach, her
classes are in demand from Rio de Janeiro to Istanbul. She founded the Acting for Film Program at
The Prague Film School, and penned the best-selling book, Secrets from the Casting Couch.
