SCENES
Both of the scenes you will do in this workshop, will be chosen for you by Candice.
THE WORKSHOP
Work in Vancouver is picking up. we've got new shows being produced here and many actors are now enjoying more auditions per week than in the previous year. All of which makes taking a 'casting director' the smart thing to do.
So I'm pleased as punch to be able to offer you this exceptional workshop again... with a very busy casting director... and at a very reasonable price.
THE FORMAT
The format to this workshop is straight forward and uncomplicated. You'll work one audition scene, one on one with Candice in the morning. These she calls her warm up scenes. Then you will come back again in the afternoon and work a second, larger scene. When all is said and done, there will be a question and answer session.
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.
We have deliberately not filled this workshop up with exercises and multiple scenes to do, so that Candice will have more time to really work with each of you.
Candice
Elzinga
Working it
One of Canada's busiest
Casting Directors
Candice has been nominated
for four Primetime Emmy's
and cast over two hundred
film and episodics.
Tough and insightful
Candice has an eye for talent.
She knows what works and
what doesn't... and if it doesn't,
she know what to do to fix it.
Got a question? Need some help?
Or maybe you are just ready to
move up to the next level. This
'take no prisoners' workshop is
bound to be a mile stone is your
career.
THIS WORKSHOP IS SPECIAL
For this workshop, Candice will carefully research all participants and choose what she believes is the right scene for each one. Then a few days prior to the workshop, Candice will then send each participant their audition scene.
CANDICE HAS SEEN ME ONCE, SHOULD I TAKE THIS WORKSHOP AGAIN?
Straight up, the answer is, yes! This is one of the BEST audition workshops in Vancouver. Even if you have worked out with Candice before, take it again and learn more. But, don't take it merely because in may increase your chances to get work. Take it because she's smart, speaks our language and comes from a place of really knowing what works and what does not.
