Learn from someone who has appeared in more forty Movies and TV shows!

Acting for camera uses a different set of skills than acting on stage. Charlie brings his experience in more than 40 movies and TV shows to this is a "nuts and bolts" class for actors at all levels who want to develop or improve their skills in front of the camera. The first half of each class is spent explaining and practicing various special problems confronting the film/TV actor, such as: hitting the mark, finding your light, overlaps, set protocol, stunt work, etc. In the second half of each class, participants work from movie and TV scripts using those techniques. As class size is limited to a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 12 new students,    pre-registration is required to ensure a spot.     Don't wait; the last class sold out quickly!

The Last Media Casting Group's Audition Skills Workshop was a big success!

Media Casting Group

Presents

A Special Audition Skills Workshop

WHEN: 1:00 PM - 4 PM

 (directions provided upon enrollment)

The audition process for motion pictures and television is very different from that for theater, or even commercials. Come spend an afternoon with the casting directors from Sacramento's leading casting company, Media Casting Group. (www.MediaCastingGroup.com) Media Casting Group has cast thousands of principals and extras in over 400 projects in the Northern California area, from major motion pictures like Phenomenon and Mad City to mini-series like Gone But Not Forgotten and movies-of-the-week like The Christmas Card and Out of the Woods.

First you'll have the opportunity to go through the audition process, using movie and TV scripts that will be provided.  After your cold reading, you'll be given a written evaluation of your headshot, resume, and audition skills in five different areas with suggestions on how to improve your skills.

The afternoon will then feature a question and answer session where you'll have a chance to ask those burning questions about the "dos and don'ts" of the audition process. 

    What's the most important tool and actor has?

    What's the biggest mistake actors make at the audition?

    What's the biggest mistake actors make during a cold reading?

    What are the casting directors really looking for?

Sound exciting?  Then give yourself a present and reserve your spot  now, as space is limited!

About choosing a class . . . 

Although tuition for Charlie's classes at the Mosaic Acting studio is very reasonable,  when deciding whom you want to study with there are a lot more things to consider than just the price.   The first thing I do is look up the instructor on IMDb.com.  That will tell me what they have actually done.   Do their credits consist of a couple of independent films that they wrote and/or directed?  Have they only been in "kid shows" on Nickelodeon or Disney?  Is their background only in theater?  I want to work with someone who has worked with major directors and has appeared with "A list" actors. There is a reason why Charlie Holliday has been voted Sacramento's Outstanding Training Resource for Actors time after time.
