CASTING IS ON YOUR SIDE!

Workshop with Casting Director Monika Dalman

Date: September Date TBC
Time: 4pm – 7pm (doors at 3:30pm – come early and get a good seat!)
Cost: $150

Come have some fun and let’s work together on how when we all work towards the same goal, great things happen for the actor, the agent, and the casting director alike. One of the greatest compliments a casting director can receive is “Where did you find this actor? They are amazing!”

This workshop will demystify certain elements of the casting process, add transparency to other areas, and give you a fool proof system to have every audition click in a way that makes producers ask casting “Where did you find this actor? They are amazing!”

Limited space, first come, first served.
