How do you deal with audition rejection? Do you think it is something you did or did not do properly? Perhaps you thought you didn't prepare enough. At other times you thought that you did a great job but you didn't get the call back. You probably ask yourself, why? You have all you need, your essence. Sexy, quiet, intense, secure, nurturing, frivolous are several of the essences that make up a character.
This image is what a casting director is looking for. Many actors walk in exuding one of these qualities and have a better chance at booking the role. If you already have part of what they are looking, chances are you might get a call-back. If it's not part of your personality makeup, you may not get called back or cast in the role. This doesn't mean you're not a good actor, or that you didn't audition well, it simply means that they were probably looking for a different type of person, a different essence.
This image workshop is geared to help actors learn how the public perceives them and the significance this has on their auditions. Your image, your essence is what you can bring to an audition when this is what the casting director is looking for in a character they are casting.
After taking this workshop many actor's will want to change their headshot's. Their new ones will be done with their essences in mind. They will be able to work more openly with their agents and managers. And, have a better understanding as to why they did or did not get the role.
Image Workshop Dates:
2008 DATES TBA.
