'Audition 101' with Megan Carpenter, Casting Director

🎬 Audition 101 with Megan Carpenter (Carpenter Casting)
We’re delighted to present a very special Audition 101 workshop in Bunbury with Megan Carpenter, one of Western Australia’s most respected and established Casting Directors from Carpenter Casting. With thanks to the Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre for generously providing the space for this exciting and special workshop.
📅 Saturday, 17 January 2026
⏰ 12:00 – 3:00pm
📍 Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre
With over 30 years’ experience in the screen industry, Megan has cast extensively across feature films, television series, and TV commercials at both state and national level. Chances are, many actors have auditioned for Megan before... without even realising it.
This workshop is designed to help actors of all ages and experience levels approach auditions with confidence, clarity, and impact. It is delivered in a supportive, enjoyable environment where participants can practise, ask questions, and grow without the stress of a real casting situation.
What to Expect
Participants will be provided with a script one week prior to the workshop, allowing time to prepare in advance. On the day, you’ll perform the material on camera with professional guidance, direction, and feedback from Megan in a constructive, no stress and encouraging setting.
About Megan Carpenter
Megan has worked with some of Australia’s most respected filmmakers, including Academy Award nominated director Bruce Beresford, and has cast projects ranging from independent local productions to major screen works such as We Bury The Dead, The Travellers, Below, and Itch 2.
Her commercial casting credits include campaigns for major brands such as RAC, Lotterywest, Western Power, Water Corporation, and many more.
Megan is passionate about making high-quality industry training accessible, particularly for emerging and regional performers. Her workshops are practical, honest, confidence-building, and grounded in real casting room expectations.
In this workshop, you’ll learn:
✔ What casting directors are really looking for
✔ The difference between screen and theatre performance
✔ How to self-tape and meet current audition standards
✔ Confidence, authenticity, and on-camera presence
✔ Live on-camera exercises with constructive feedback
Please Bring
• A water bottle

Suitable for:
Teens 16+ and adults, emerging actors of all skill levels (beginner-friendly), performers transitioning from theatre or dance, and anyone exploring screen acting.
This is also a rare opportunity to be seen by, and learn directly from, a casting director who is actively casting film and TV both locally and nationally.
Spaces are limited.
We’d love to see you there!
