Date: August 4th
Location: Online via Zoom
Time: 6.30pm-9.30pm

How are your self tapes being received? This workshop is designed to give actors direct insight into current industry standards and expectations.

Yvonne will be sent actors Spotlights and send out sides for the actors to prepare. Actors will then upload a self tape in advance of the workshop to be watched back in a group zoom session and given feedback by Yvonne with the chance to implement the notes. The workshop helps develop the ability to take direction quickly and effectively within a casting room setting.

Participants will receive constructive, practical feedback throughout, with an emphasis on what is working in their tapes and how performances are landing from a casting perspective when viewing them. The session is designed to be direct, supportive, and industry-relevant, offering actors a valuable opportunity to refine their screen audition technique in a professional context.
