Synopsis

The audition process is such a time-pressured 15 minutes. Actors often come away feeling none the wiser, disempowered, and disillusioned. It can feel very random and uncertain.
Casting director Eryn Wilson's goal with this class, is to be absolutely transparent with actors, so they know every part of the casting process and their role within that.
He will share what’s important to a casting director and what isn’t, insights into the agent/casting director relationship; the actor/director relationship and what directors ACTUALLY care most about.
You will also learn about his 10 stages all actors need to observe in order to put themselves in the top 20% of actors auditioning.
It’s a no-stone-unturned approach, so actors feel empowered, knowledgable and confident going into their next audition.
