Following a brief introduction Claire will offer the opportunity to answer any questions you may have about our industry including, but not limited to, her casting process, showreels, contacting Casting Directors and how to give yourself the best opportunity at the audition.
Each actor will then read their scene - Claire will provide feedback, offering ideas and insight, before offering the opportunity to read again.
There will be further opportunity for questions at the end if there is time.
