Join us for an engaging seminar on the journey of acting jobs, starting from the moment a casting agency receives a script to the actor’s arrival on set. We’ll discuss the process of how roles are booked, as well as offer practical tips for actors to secure parts, what to prepare when booking, and practical considerations to excel in their job experiences.

We’ll offer insights from the perspectives of a casting director, talent agent, and SAG-AFTRA representative with a 'behind the scenes' look into their roles to understand how each collaborates with a production to help bring the best talent to the screen for the story.

Our goal is to empower local talent with strategies and considerations for your next job. This seminar will also be useful for filmmakers and media producers looking for insights into the business of booking talent for their next project!

On-camera auditions are often difficult and intimidating. It is hard to do an inspiring read for a camera or disinterested reader. It's also difficult to get a good sense of the material and decide how to play a scene or character when you only have a few minutes to go over your sides. In this workshop, we will explore a technique for doing quick breakdowns of a scene and role with limited time, and a way of working off of the lines and suggestions in the script to bring the material to life, making your cold readings both fun and effective. In this workshop, Robert Epstein employs the principles of the Meisner Technique to create compelling performances in your cold reading auditions. 

Robert Epstein, known as DC's resident Meisner expert, has taught The Complete Actor's Training, his long-term program for actors, for over 30 years. Robert has performed roles on cable and network TV, and has directed DC film & theatre projects including "Adams Morgan: The Movie," as well as leading many workshops for the SAG-AFTRA Conservatory and the Actor's Center.
