WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
AUDITIONING FOR FILM AND TV

This two-day intensive workshop offers a fun, dynamic and highly informative environment for actors looking to refine their craft and develop an international career.

Participants will have the opportunity to practise essential on-camera audition skills, with a special focus on self-taping, a crucial step in today’s global casting landscape. Before the workshop, actors will choose and self-tape one of several provided scenes. During the sessions, Nancy Bishop, Caprice Crawford and Jo Monteiro will offer personalised feedback on scene work, self-tapes, demo reels and headshots.

The class integrates a range of audition-focused exercises, including cold reading techniques, an approach developed and refined by Nancy Bishop. Actors will also work on strategies for identifying strong choices and clear objectives when approaching a new text.

Each instructor contributes complementary expertise:

Nancy Bishop reviews self-tapes and introduces cold-reading tools.

Caprice Crawford provides feedback on promotional materials and offers guidance on how to get an agent.

Jo Monteiro leads practical on-camera exercises.

An open Q&A will help participants navigate the professional landscape with clarity and confidence.

By the end of the workshop, actors will leave with actionable techniques, increased confidence, and the tools to approach international casting opportunities with professionalism and ease.
