Casting the Small Roles in HUGE FEATURES with Amelia McCarthy, Associate Casting Director

Saturday, October 7, 2017, 10am ET / 7am PT

Actors Connection welcomes Amelia for this Special Event designed to leave you with much insight and knowledge that will directly affect YOUR booking a role in feature film.

As most working actors know, small roles and one liners are often the most difficult to audition for. Amelia has some tips and strategies to help you! The class will begin with a Q&A followed by on-camera scene work. Amelia will select sides based on HS/resume in advance and give you a scene for a dayplayer role that you will be emailed in advance and have prepared. After you have worked on this material, Amelia will give everyone a few different 1-5 line scenes to continue on-camera auditions for these "small roles." An INVALUABLE opportunity for actors wanting to gain the SKILLS to help you obtain feature film credits.

Amelia is a NY Casting Director and Associate. She has been an associate casting director on such projects as:Divorce (2nd season), Inside Llewyn Davis, Flight of the Conchords (1st season), Sugar, Michael Clayton, No Country for Old Men, Doubt, Gran Torino, Company Men, You Don't Know Jack, True Grit, The Ides of March and Men In Black 3. She has also worked as a casting director on films such as The Speed of Life, Iris (short), Ratana (short), Smile (short) and the Barry Levinson film The Bay (co-casting with Ellen Chenoweth).

This event is limited to 10 actors.

"The class that Amelia gave was absolutely GREAT! She provided profound insight into obtaining the small role. She was a treasure trove of information, and she gave good instruction on-camera. I really liked her. Again, I am so happy I made the move to be a steady customer of AC. I will give you acknowledgement when I am walking the red carpet." -Ed Incle
