SCENES
Both of the scenes you will do in this workshop, will be chosen for you by Marc.
THE WORKSHOP
Work in Vancouver is picking up. Many actors are now enjoying more auditions per week than in the previous year. This intensive will help hone your scene study and on camera audition skills, getting you ready for this year's opportunities.
THE FORMAT
The format to this workshop is straight forward and uncomplicated. You'll work one film scene, audition style, one on one with Marc in the morning. These he calls his warm up scenes. Then you will come back again in the afternoon and work a second, larger scene.
All scenes are put on camera. Then, about a week after the workshop, you'll be emailed a link to view the work you did in the workshop. Easy breezy.
Actors can also expect to do exercises that will help flesh out their connection with their character's obligation and the material.
