TORONTO CASTING FILM INTENSIVE AUDITIONS (AUGUST 4 & 5, 2009)


THE INDUSTRY IS PICKING UP. BE READY. THIS WORKSHOP IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN AND BE SEEN BY 4 TOP CASTING DIRECTORS.

In this intensive and challenging two-day workshop, you'll have the opportunity to work (two) audition scenes on camera, of your choosing. However, if choosing your own sides seems a little daunting, don't worry, we also have a whole selection of sides for you to choose from.

Well known Canadian acting coach Marc Baur, will team up with with one of Toronto's finest acting coaches, Janet Laine, and together they'll see one of your audition sides, giving you two opportunities to work it on camera.

After diner, you'll work your audition side on camera again, only this time before a panel of two prominent Casting Directors - Tina Gerussi and Robin Cooks Associate, Millie Tom. If time allows, a question and answer session will close each day.

Next day, you will repeat the first days format, only you will work your other audition side. Janet and Marc will again work your auditions, however after diner, your Casting Director panel be new. This time you will work out with two different prominent Casting Directors - Marsha Chesley and Lisa Parasyn.

This workshop is very intensive. Each day gives you almost ten hours of instruction, which is actually like giving you the equivalent of a three or four day workshop.

Your work will be recorded on camera and you will get a DVD of all your work done with each casting director panel.
