Special Seminar sponsored by Spotlight, Europe’s premier actor database and CCcom, France’s leading actors database. Join Nancy as she launches her new book, “Auditioning for Film and TV” (Bloomsbury).
The seminar will focus on strategies for actors to promote themselves and procure work in the
international market. Topics will include how to best take advantage of the internet for marketing, maximize social media, organize a professional CV, choose a winning headshot, produce an effective show reel, and record auditions to send to production.
Friday 29 January: 10:00 – 16:00. Class day One
Actors are increasingly asked to tape their own auditions and send them digitally to casting directors.
Actors who master the skills of self-audition have a crucial advantage in booking the role. Actors will be assigned material in advance, prepare a self-taped audition and post it to a drop box. On the day, Nancy will give a critique of the material. Students may also bring head shots, and promotional material for review. Nancy will also assign scenes for a mock casting on the following day. Special Guest Nathalie Cheron will help give actors feedback on their promo material and answer questions in a Q+A.
Saturday 30th January: 10:00- 16:00
Targeted exercises will hone on-camera work. Actors will rehearse and record their assigned scenes,
followed by view and review. Get professional advice from a casting director who is actively
working in the field. Nancy’s book “Auditioning for Film and TV” (Bloomsbury) will be free to all members of the class.
