Latest News Featured Article Casting Board Film Competitions Select State

Hi Guys A huge welcome to everyone for 2011. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and  are looking forward to big things in 2011. We are back on track now and apologise for  being a little quiet at the back end of 2010. I  had a family tragedy that kept me under the  weather a little but you have to bounce back  and here we are! We have a huge year in store for yo so stick  with us and we will help you meet your acting  goals. Remember nothing is achieved without a goal,  you don't to a soccer field without having a plan,  you don't start a new job without preparation.  PPP Planning, Preparation, Practice. Here is another one - a sign of insanity is doing  the same thing but expecting a different result.  If you didn't get the result you were after in  2010, then don't continue to do the same thing.  You need to try something different. The highlight of my year was doing the  Australian Tourism commercial and and seeing  so many of my actors landing jobs. Great work  to everyone. Step up to the mark and set yourself some  goals for 2011. Here is an "fat" newsletter to get you going.

These workshops will cover all aspects of  casting and the audition process. Dave Newman, who has been a casting  associate at Christine King Casting for over 5  years, will conduct the workshops. Dave has  been personally involved in thousands of  auditions for both US and Australian projects  including TERRA NOVA (FOX/DREAMWORKS),  THE PACIFIC (HBO, DREAMWORKS & PLAYTONE)  , WOLVERINE ORIGINS (FOX), NARNIA:VOYAGE  OF THE DAWN TREADER (FOX), DON'T BE  AFRAID OF THE DARK (MIRAMAX), MATCHING  JACK (CASCADE FILMS), RED DOG (WOSS FILM  GROUP) and the award winning EAST WEST 101  (SBS) series 1, 2. & 3.

The workshops will run for 5 1/2 hours (incl 30  min lunch break) with numbers strictly limited to  15 per class. Participants will be given  individually chosen scenes and a character brief  in advance, matched to their level of experience  using both US and Australian scenes. Each actor will be given the opportunity to work  one on one with Dave on the prepared scene  and learn from watching the other actors doing  their scenes. The auditions will be recorded and then used as  a reference for our records. In addition to the specific work on auditions in a  relaxed, friendly environment the workshop will  also cover how the casting process works, the  relationship between producers/directors/casting  & actors, audition techniques and approaches,  preparation, what we look for, taking the  pressure off, showreels, promoting and  marketing yourself as an actor, false  expectations and more. There will be a question  and answer session (as well as the opportunity  to ask questions throughout the workshop) - no  question too silly.
