We are delighted to welcome back Casting Associate Seth Mason to TAG!!

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

Each actor will then read their scene - Seth will provide feedback, offering ideas and insight, before offering the opportunity to read again. A camera will be used for practise and a screen for others to watch while people are doing their scene, but not for recording.

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