Our Auditioning for Film & Television classes aim to equip students with the tools they need to be successful in any number of auditioning situations. Whether in-person with Casting Directors, Producers and/or Directors, or through the taped submission process, actors need to maximize their effectiveness with every audition opportunity. This includes learning skills specific to on-camera auditioning and implementing these techniques to be successful in the room. Text analysis, character creation, emotional connection, and technical acting-for-camera skill development…at Vancouver Acting School, we want to ensure you are comfortable with every aspect when you get that big audition! Students will prepare and present scenes on camera each night in a simulated audition process, receiving personalized feedback and support.

Course description:
This is a 12-week in person Self Tape Mastery program, think of it as scene study class in a self tape audition format! Each week you will explore a new scene, graduating from the very tricky one liner auditions and on to scenes from six pages and beyond. Each week you will be working with different actors in the class. Under the guidance of Francesca Bianchi, you will explore a technique of script analysis developed especially for self-taping purposes, creating the space, working with props in detail, complex blocking as well as emotional investment. It’s about diving deeper so that as actors you can bring your depth and creativity to all genres and communicate that effectively for the camera. Preparation and dedication to this class week on week is essential and ensures that you will graduate this course with the knowledge you need to excel at your auditions and find the creativity needed to bring part of yourself to each audition and roll.

auditioning. His calm demeanour and his years of experience on set and as a

vision and have strong, interesting choices.”
