Saturday, April 30, 2011, 10am ET / 7am PT

Congratulations to Kevin who just took over as the head CD for Law & Order: Criminal Intent! From one of the largest TV/film casting offices in NYC and home to the prestigious Law and Order franchise, Kevin brings years of experience working with Lynn Kressel to this Advanced Film/TV ALL DAY EVENT. Casting daily for TV series, mini-series, MOW's and feature films, Kevin will coach you on audition techniques specific to these areas. Whether you're auditioning for an episodic or a feature, this intensive will teach you the things you need to know that can help you to get the call-back and then BOOK the job. Kevin will have received your headshots ahead of time and "cast" each actor in 2 scenes (FILM and TV), which you will be emailed in advance for preparation. Then it's you on-camera with a reader. Kevin will review and critique everyone's work in the morning Film session and address how your picture and resume "speaks" for you. After a short lunch break, you'll repeat the process in the afternoon session with your Law and Order: CI scene, incorporating what you've learned in the AM! Kevin just completed casting series regular's for "Law & Order: Los Angeles", ABC's Stephen King mini-series "Bag Of Bones", the indie film "Beautiful Now" and the TV movie "Dashing Through The Snow." He also just completed casting for the feature film "Blind" and "Secrets In The Walls" a TV movie for Lifetime. Past projects include: "Eat Pray Love" starring Julia Roberts, "How Do You Know" starring Paul Rudd, Reese Witherspoon, and Owen Wilson, and Pilots: "Riverworld", "The Phantom" and "Alice." Kevin has also worked with Gayle Keller on the ABC series Six Degrees and the feature film The Last Mimzy, and with Ann Goulder on the features The Life Before Her Eyes (starring Uma Thurman) and The Nanny Diaries (starring Scarlett Johannsen). ***Both your AM and PM sessions will be video taped as a digital file. Within one week, you will receive an email with the file to watch and view your work.*** Please upload your headshot and create a resume in your online account upon registration.
