Summary

The audition room. Even thinking about it makes even the most seasoned actor cringe. Walking in, you never truly know what you're going to get, but what if you had an upper hand on knowing what to expect before you ever walk in the door? We're here to help you learn just that!

In this Stage 32 Next Level Webinar, accomplished actors Uma Incrocci and Christian Pedersen are back by popular demand to walk you through what happens in every type of audition room:

  • Film auditions
  • TV auditions
  • Theater auditions
  • Voiceover auditions
  • New media auditions
  • Commercial auditions
  • Self tape auditions

They’ll share the tactics they use themselves on how to deal with nerves, how to ace the chit chat in the room, and how you can be a smart actor that casting directors will want to call in again and again!

After attending over a hundred casting director workshops and classes, going on hundreds of auditions, casting their own projects, and booking work in every area of the business, Uma and Christian offer a unique insider perspective on booking the room, no matter what the format.

Everything you learn in this webinar is essential for you to know and understand when trying to book a new role.
