Stephen Moore works as a casting director for the in-house BBC casting department.

Casting Continuing TV Drama offers the opportunity to discuss with Stephen his take on the casting process, to read for him and receive honest feedback and advice.

The workshop will start with a brief introduction where Stephen will discuss his experience of casting for television, and the format of the BBC shows he works on.

Stephen will receive your Spotlight CV prior to the workshop (please make sure it is up-to-date) and will then send out a scene for you to prepare a few days beforehand. This will be a practical workshop in which you will be performing scenes from television scripts Stephen has cast and will include honest feedback and advice.

TAG workshops offer a supportive environment in which to work. All members perform their scenes in front of each other - offering a unique insight and opportunity for us as a group. There will be an informal Q&A towards the end of the workshop.
