Join Casting Director Elisa Musson for an exclusive casting workshop designed to give actors direct insight into current casting practice across film and television.

Originally from France and now based in the UK, Elisa recently cast the feature film By North, which is currently in production. She has also worked internationally as an Associate across the offices of Nancy Bishop, Sally McCleery, Rachel Freck and Emma Stafford Casting.

Her credits across film, television and commercials include Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, The Wheel of Time, and 2026 Oscar nominee Bugonia. Elisa is also a probationary member of the Casting Directors’ Guild (CDG).

This session offers actors the opportunity to work directly on camera, receive professional casting feedback and gain a clearer understanding of what casting teams are looking for in the room and on self-tape.

5 days prior to the workshop, actors will be sent scenes selected by Elisa. Participants should aim to be familiar with their text in advance, although you do not need to be off-book, and should be ready to work under audition conditions.

The session will begin with a short introduction from Elisa, followed by filmed self-tape-style performances in front of the group. Each actor will receive individual feedback and direction, with the opportunity for a second take.

The workshop will conclude with an informal Q&A, giving participants the chance to ask Elisa questions about casting processes, self-tapes, preparation and what she looks for from actors.

Actors will be filmed and footage made available after the workshop.

This workshop follows CDG guidelines and is not an audition.
