SCENE SELECTION:
Once you complete registration and make a payment, an email with a link to dozens of 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 2.5 mins long or less and be from a TV show or Film.

PLEASE NOTE:
The presence of a casting director or talent representative does not guarantee representation or employment opportunities.

This is not a "Pay to Play" event. That type of event is when a casting director or director charges actors to audition for a specific project or role. Our studio produces events for LEARNING & EDUCATIONAL purposes. The industry guests that we have come to our studio, are there to teach actors about the industry and understanding the business side of it. They also give feedback on your work to help you improv your audition technique. Paying for legitimate and useful advice from an expert in his or her field is fine and legal. But “pay-to-play” (paying to interview or audition) is illegal.
