Presented by Magaly Colimon –
To be held online via Zoom:
Casting directors and agents have made a dramatic shift to online auditions — including pre-recorded self-taped submissions and live auditions on videoconferencing platforms such as Zoom. Many acting gigs themselves are taking place in the virtual sphere, through live online events and self-recorded performances.
This workshop for the working actor will put you ahead of the curve in this new virtual era.
Whether you are planning to self-tape, preparing to audition live via Zoom with an agent, or if you are curious about how to adjust your live theater acting skills to satisfy the requirements of this medium — this is the class for you.
Topics addressed will include:
- The elements of a strong self tape – editing, shooting, equipment, angle, how to save and label your file with your name/project name etc.
- Acting with a remote fellow actor.
- Translating your theater acting skills for the online medium
- Practices and exercises allow for effortless, authentic on-camera performances.
Participants must be prepared to purchase the equipment needed for creating online auditions and self tapes: lighting, backdrop, lavalier microphone. Guidance will be given in class regarding what to purchase.
