Part 2: Audition Strategy Exercises:
Actors will take part in stimulating exercises that will help actors with spontaneity and purpose, in quick-read audition circumstances. Learn new approaches to cold-reading and strategize an approach to audition work.
Part 3: International Actor Marketing Seminar Join Nancy Bishop as she launches her new book, “Auditioning for Film and TV” (Bloomsbury) for a free lecture in English sponsored by Spotlight, Europe’s premier actor database. Lecture will be followed by book signing. Seminar will focus on strategies for actors to promote themselves and procure work in the international market.
