CASTING THE CO-STAR with Erica Jensen, Casting Director, Calleri Casting - Now casting the hit series ARMY WIVES

Monday, February 28, 2011, 7pm ET / 4pm PT

Ever wonder what it was like on the other side of the table during a casting session-well now is your chance! With years of casting experience in both film and television, Erica's coaching and feedback has given many actors the tools needed to BOOK! This one-night event has been tailored to show you the ins and outs and hopefully leave you with much insight and knowledge that will directly affect YOUR booking. Many actors have the notion that anyone can walk into a room and book one or two lines. Most CD's will strongly disagree as these roles are sometimes the most difficult to cast. The evening will begin with Erica dividing the class into three groups, handing out sides for a co-starring role, then giving you time with the material. As one group is waiting for their "audition", the other two groups alongside Erica will act as the writers/producers/casting directors in the room as each actor is brought in for the role. After each actor works, you as a class will discuss the audition with Erica giving her insight: would you bring them back to producers, Why? Why not? Did they make a one-act play out of the three lines? Then you will select 3 actors to get a "callback", repeat the process, and eventually "give someone the job." Erica will give each actor individual feedback on their performance and what they need to nail that next audition. This experience will then be repeated with the other groups. An INVALUABLE opportunity for actors wanting INSIDE information on how to get that costar credit on your resume and start building towards guest stars and even series regulars!
