Course Overview
The film audition technique and showreel workshop is a fully comprehensive and practical step through of the film audition process, culminating in an industry ready showreel scene that will be sent to both local Perth and Sydney based Casting Agencies.
Working each week to put down a screen test you can keep, (in the three main areas of commercials, TV and film), we will start from the start, with detailed information about the casting process, to mental preparation techniques and self care practices, to fundamental camera technique, improvisation techniques, text analysis and character development work and development and awareness of your own personal strengths and brand, culminating in an industry professional showreel that will be sent to the following casting agencies: McGregor Casting, Danni Long Casting, i4 Casting, Peta Einberg Casting, Renato Fabretti, Chicken n’ Chips Casting, Fountainhead Casting and more.
From the previous series’s we have run at the Hub, this course is the one that has had the biggest results. We saw many emerging actors through this program become mainstays on Australian screens. If you are serious about breaking through then this series is a fantastic way to do it.
The Showreel Scene
The showreel scene will be one coupled (two actors) scene no longer than one minute thirty seconds in length as per industry standard. We will work with you and your partner to develop what will begin as a self devised scene, incorporating the learnings from the course. This will then be shot on location, and all on the same day. An editor will be assigned to cut your final scene, delivered to you after completion of the course and hosted on Vimeo for your use. A grouped series will then be sent to the casting agencies. Please understand due to the nature of the industry, we can make no guarantees as to the response from the agencies.
