WHAT IS THE COURSE ABOUT?
This course is aimed at professional actors who are looking to hone and perfect their audition skills. Everyone starts at Level 1, regardless of experience. The level 1 course is taught by Michael, who runs Mixing Networks. He uses his knowledge and experience of working with casting directors for the last 9 years and gives actors the most up to date information. The course will go in depth about auditioning for drama, soaps and comedy with each script presenting a common pitfall so actors know how to avoid them going forward.

IN THE ROOM COURSE
Once a week for 3 weeks, a small group of actors will be given a script to prepare to be put on tape one by one. The whole class will then review each tape and critique it.
The course will cover auditioning for drama, soaps, comedy and eventually end with a cold reading class. Each class will last approx. 4 hours.

We are confident everyone will finish the level 1 course with a better understanding of what casting directors are looking for. You then have the option to put your new skills and knowledge into practice by joining the level 2 class upon completing level 1.

The course dates run as follows:
Monday 07/03/22 6pm - 10pm
Monday 14/03/22 6pm - 10pm
Monday 21/03/22 6pm - 10pm

Please note that once you have signed up, you are expected to attend all 3 classes and if you miss a class, you will not get any credit back. If you are feeling unwell and can't make a class, you will have the option to send in a self tape for personal feedback.
