Learn to take control of your self taped auditions with multi-award winning casting director, David Newman, from McSweeney Newman Casting

​

Over the years, Dave Newman has received thousands of self- taped auditions – the good, the bad, the ugly, and the truly amazing.

​

This class will explore every aspect of self-taping, helping you to embrace the opportunity to take control of your audition, reduce stress levels, and empowering you in the process.

​

When approaching a self taped audition, the thought process can be overwhelming: 

What do they want? Where should I pitch it? What should my production values be? What if I can’t find a pro actor to read with me? They want it in how many days? What should I wear? Is it good enough? What should the background be? Should I re-tape it? Are the files too big? How do I choose which takes to send?  

In this class, we will address all of these concerns, and more by reducing the worry, stress, and uncertainty surrounding self-taped auditions and ultimately empowering you to confidently take full advantage of, and enjoy, the opportunity to self-tape auditions.

Each student will be sent a scene from Dave prior to the Masterclass to prepare, then will film the scene in a self-tape environment on the day. They will then receive performance and technical feedback. 

​

Please note that participant numbers are strictly capped at 14 students per session.
