This workshop is an opportunity to work on your audition technique for theatre and gain some honest feedback on your CV and headshot at the same time.

There is an increasing demand for actors to multi-role and this class will provide a rare opportunity to gain insights on auditioning for multiple parts from the perspective of a Casting Director and Director who have both cast numerous show in this way.

You will be asked to prepare to 'audition' for two contrasting parts in two very different plays.  A couple of days before the workshop you will be sent details of the plays and which roles have been selected for you to prepare. You will have the opportunity to work on sections of script and then receive honest feedback and guidance. The session will finish with a Q&A.
