Service Description

Advanced Audition Technique is a Tier 3 course. Work with Casting Director Sarah Cayce on audition technique from film and television in her six-week advanced camera class. Each week, you'll get in front of the camera with audition material and work your scenes, receiving feedback from Sarah. ​This class provides online lecture series from Sarah for students to watch ahead of time. From character development to how casting works, what Sarah wants to see in the room to what your agents do - the lecture series is packed with information.  ​What you'll learn • Taking direction in a casting setting. • Using the frame to your advantage - Upping the stakes from entering from the side of frame, you'll learn to start and finish your scenes stronger. • Body Language - Work with Sarah on saying everything you need to say without saying anything at all. It's motion pictures. • Genre & Character Work - On top of the on-camera aspect, Sarah will work each scene, pushing for performances based on genre standards and deep character development.  • Whatever - This class is designed for actors to break actor habits, run an upcoming scene, or anything else that could help their on-camera career. If you have something you want to work on, Sarah can usually accommodate.  • Time Control - Seriously. Ask her.  ​Each week, Sarah offers a short Q&A session based on the online lecture. As soon as questions are answered, students get on camera, and receive feedback between three takes, receiving notes and redirects from Sarah.  Who is Sarah Cayce?   Sarah Cayce is an award-winning director, Emmy-nominated producer, screenwriter, and casting director.
