Emma Sylvester is currently working at the BBC as a Casting Assistant on Holby City.

Prior to the workshop Emma will send out a selection of scenes for members to prepare. Following a brief introduction Emma 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 - Emma 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.

Emma was a jobbing actress before her move into casting. She is now working in house at the BBC as a Casting Assistant on Holby City. Prior to working at the BBC Emma cast projects for RSA films (Ridley Scott Associates) and social enterprise film production company Signature Pictures.
