INTENSIVE INCLUDES:
  • Enhancing your on-camera audition technique
  • Receive coaching and feedback from the industry guests on your scene performance. 
  • Walk away with feedback forms from all guests.
  • Question and Answer Session

FORMAT:
Each intensive will start with a brief Q&A with the industry guests. Next, each actor, one by one, will go into a separate room with the panel and a reader to perform their scene on camera. After receiving coaching and feedback, the actor will get to do the scene a second time. All other actors in attendance will be able to watch your performance live on a flat screen while you're in the room with the guests.

SCENE SELECTION:

Once you complete registration and make a payment, an email with a link to dozens of good film / TV scenes will be provided. You also have the option to bring in and use your own scene instead of using one from our link. The scene must be no more than 2-3 pages and be from a TV show or film. No scenes from plays / theatre shows. If you are registered to come two days, you may use the same scene both days being that each day will have a complete different panel. You are welcome to use a different scene each day.

*It is your responsibility to prepare your materials well in advance of the intensive. We highly recommend you have your scene off book to get the most out of the feedback and coaching from our industry guests.
