DAY 3 - Wednesday | Speech & Voice Over with Kate Hall

An Actor's voice is one of the most important assets. Knowing how to use your voice is crucial to any given performance, whether it be a loud projection on stage or a whisper in a sound booth. Get your vocals on track with Speech and Acting expert Kate Hall, who has worked for over 30 years in film, tv, theatre and voice work. Kate has worked with many well known actors such as Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman. This class also includes a recording of a voice over demo for your portfolio!

DAY 4 - Thursday | Comedy & Improv with CJ Hampson

Time to get laughing! Comedy is such a different type of skill to the more common "serious" type of acting, and very often, building a character requires you to explore a more humorous side! Its time to let go and explore your comedic talents. Its also super beneficial for actors to be familiar with improvisation - which happens more often than we think (especially in auditions) CJ performs comedy and improv every week and has received thousands of views with "Acting with CJ" on Youtube.

DAY 5 - Friday | Casting Workshop with Sarah Light

Casting is a process all actors must be familiar with. Whether it be a commercial or role in a feature film, its important to have a thorough understanding of how this method works and how you as an actor can best approach the casting call. Who better to learn from than a working professional. A triple threat, Sarah Light spent many years working as an actor in film, television and commercials. The last couple of years she put her skills to casting, allowing her so much insight on the dos and don'ts of what makes a memorable audition.
