Thoughts - from actors.
Sun, 15 Aug 2010, 10:40 amI'd just like some constructive feedback on a Screen Acting/Auditioning for screen Workshop that I'm organising...
If you were to attend a workshop, what would you expect to get out of it?
Please don't bombard this post with "Do we have to pay?"..."It doesn't say so"..."This is a Theatre Website!>:("
It's $50.
The workshop will be an authentic audition process with a twist;
You will be paired up, short chat to camera, filmed reading, audition played back, notes given on overall impression, then another go at reading...watch again.
Thoughts please...or any feedback on crap "Screen Workshops" you've attended.
In three years at Drama School, we had ONE hour of TV training... 75% of my auditions have been in front of a camera. This is why I'm doing this.
Best Wishes,

Hi Rebecca,
Thought I'd boost your feedback stocks!
For me personally, if I was looking to part with cash in order to attend a class and improve my skills I would be seeking info on who is running or 'teaching' the class and their credentials or industry experience. I would also be interested to establish whether the session was intended to be more of an informal, collaborative group workshop session or if their was a more formal instructional element from a teacher.
I can imagine that, should you run these sessions, you will inevitably be bombarded by young actors who may assume that you are offering a course or qualification in screen acting that will get them trained up and ready for the industry. You may need to be clear and upfront with folks about exactly what it is you are offering so you keep the campers happy.
Well, they're my thoughts.
