What students are saying about this class
“Daniel Bacon brings a relaxed and refreshing approach to the art of auditioning. His calm demeanour and his years of experience on set and as a reader, help to simplify the audition process and “demystify” the room. I find all of my clients who have trained with him are grounded with a clear vision and have strong, interesting choices.”
