TAFTA Gold Coast are so excited to welcome Natalie Wall, Casting Director at the incredible casting office ‘Barrett Casting’ into our Gold Coast studio of an exclusive Casting Workshop. Barrett Casting have cast huge films such as Oscar Nominated The Power of the Dog, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Babadook, The Nightingale, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Of an Age and the soon be released Black Snow. Natalie does not do these workshops often - so get in quick.
Natalie will be working in depth with a limited number of actors on the casting process, audition technique, and how to make an impact on camera.
You will not only get the opportunity to perform in front of one of Australia’s busiest Casting Directors, you will also get an insight into acting craft, plus the opportunity to begin a professional relationship with Natalie.
There are two components to the workshop:
Part 1: A Self Test Scene taped and sent to Natalie. Natalie will give you feedback on your test during the workshop.
Part 2: A new scene that you will learn and perform for Natalie during the workshop. Natalie will work with you up on the floor, giving feedback, direction, and audition technique coaching. Please bring an SD Card to take your HD copy of the scene home with you!
Actors attending this workshop understand that the presence of a Casting Director is not a guarantee or promise of employment. All actors should further understand that the intent of this class is solely educational and not a form of job interview or audition.
ENROLMENT DEADLINE - Friday 13th January 2023*
AGE: 17+*
*If you are under 18 years old and would like to sign up to this course please contact enquiries@tafta.com.au for details
