This workshop will consist of an intro chat, a practical session with a mock casting, and a Q&A - there will also be a cold read section if there is time.
Your Spotlight CV will be sent to Ollie prior to the workshop and he will personally email you with a scene prior to the workshop for you to prepare. Ollie will also prep another scene for you for a cold read.
Ollie will film your scene and offer feedback in the class as well as sending you a link to it after the workshop so you can review it in your own time.
Then finish up with a Q&A.
