TAG are very pleased to welcome back Casting Director Olissa Rogers.

Prior to the workshop Olissa will send out a selection of scenes for members to prepare. Following a brief introduction Olissa will offer the opportunity to answer any questions you may have about our industry including, but not limited to, her casting process, showreels, contacting Casting Directors and how to give yourself the best opportunity at the audition.

Each actor will then read their scene - Olissa will provide feedback, offering ideas and insight, before offering the opportunity to read again.

There will be further opportunity for questions at the end if there is time. 

Olissa Rogers is a Casting Director working on a freelance basis. She began working in the industry back in Germany in 2008. She worked there until 2016 mainly on TV Series.
