*This is an in-person workshop. *

Sam Day- Intertalent- Richard Leavey Collective Agents - Sophia Evans Olivia Bell Management

The way it works is we have top agents come in on a panel for you to perform and ask as many questions as possible in the time you have been given.

You will have a set time block allocated to you where you will go in to perform one under 2-minute song which will then be constructively critiqued by the panel. It will then be your chance to ask what ever questions you may have. Each agent will fill out an evaluation form for you to take home. This is a great way to meet and learn from agents and get instant feedback.

You pick your own time block so no waiting around for hours (first come first served on time blocks)

1 on 1 format so all the attention is on you

Pick your own under 2 minute song to perform

Headshots/ Spotlights reviewed by top industry professionals

*This is an in-person accent workshop. *

In session one we’ll explore all of the key elements of the general American accent including the major sounds, rhythm, placement, direction and differentiating features. As it is one of the most requested accents by casting directors we’ll be putting what we’ve learnt into practice - each actor will be paired up to work on a piece of dialogue. You’ll be expected to work with your partner between sessions.
In session two we shall workshop the scene you have been working on. You’ll have the opportunity to share feedback, discuss the hurdles you experienced and build your confidence with the accent in front of others. The general American accent is a must in the toolkit of any actor and being able to learn and try it out in a safe environment is a great opportunity.
