DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND, ANOTHER AUDITION ASSESSMENT W/SHOP LA STYLE!  THE BEST $55 YOU’VE EVER SPENT.

Just before the office closed for Christmas, we presented an Audition Workshop (LA Style) with the lovely Erica Silverman from Criminal Minds. This workshop was an audition assessment workshop held exactly in the way they do in LA. The workshop was a phenomenal success for a couple of reasons:-

1. - Erica is an industry heavyweight casting director and every actor wants to be assessed and seen by her, and
2. - It was only $55 per applicant.

It was also a great eye opener for the actors concerned who were assessed on their headshot, performance, age range, type, audition interpretation and overall presentation. Screenwise sees a great need for this type of workshop in Australia with Australian Casting Directors - which is affordable and beneficial to the struggling actor. Casting Workshops are great for the Casting Director to see you perform, however if your performance lacks in something - the Casting Director is not qualified nor has the tools to teach you how to fix it. They are there purely to assess your performance. So having said that, Screenwise is now committed to bringing more of these LA Style workshops throughout the year on a month to month basis, whichContinue Reading

BEWARE!

There are many Charlatans out there, so called 'professionals', professing to have what it takes to get you a job - offering actors quick fixes for showreels and quick roads to success...but please be warned! There are NO quick fixes. And just because they've made a feature film doesn't make them an expert. Experience makes them an expert.
Anyone who offers you advice for a price...or a chance to be seen by Casting Consultants and Directors when you're not ready...or offer you a showreel without taking into consideration what you have to lose...then they are exploiting you and your situation. Casting Consultants and Directors who are being paid for their expertise can enlighten you on how THEY work and what THEY want, but THEY can't solve your problems or advise you on how to fix things, or improve your performance. So basically, they can't teach you to act.
Just remember, exposure doesn't give you better opportunities...better training does.
