About this Event
Join NY Film/TV Collective and esteemed Casting Director for a Masterclass where you will learn innovative on-camera audition technique that will elevate your auditions and gain coveted industry insight to boost your career. As an educator and coach, Amy’s mission is to empower actors and with that goal in mind, her teaching style is highly specific, actionable and results-oriented. For both seasoned and emerging actors.
This Masterclass will begin with an in-depth opening talk that will touch on many of the things you can do to vastly improve your on-camera auditions.
Among other things, Amy will share her signature cold-read technique, which transforms both in-person and self-taped auditions. For instructional purposes, commercial copy will be used, however Amy’s technique and approach can be applied to all kinds of auditions.
The second half of this session will consist of one-on-one coaching with a dozen actors who volunteer to work with Amy (copy will be emailed during the session). During this part of the session, you will see how applying Amy’s technique, along with her clear-cut direction, immediately and markedly transforms everyone’s work.
