Three day Workshop Breakdown
Adam Meir's workshop will focus on audition technique and how to approach the varied challenges of the US film and TV market.
We will discuss US Sitcoms (Multi Cam / Single Cam), feature films, TV Dramas (Procedural / Serial).
Adam will guide you through the specifics that casting directors and producers are looking for when auditioning and acting in US projects.
How to prepare for a specific show or film?
How auditioning differs to actual acting and how you actively “book the room” instead of only focussing on the role.
The class will function like a real audition with casting on tape. There will be impromptu challenges that actors deal with on a daily basis, to make sure you are ready for anything that can happen in the room.
It will be a one on one with “casting”.
We'll spend the first half of the day taping the auditions, slates and behavior in the room, adjustments and a second read through. For the second half of the day, we'll focus on reviewing the auditions as a group, discussing them and how to improve your work on camera.
At the end of the workshop all students will get a copy of all of their taped material in order to be able to refer to them in the future.
