THE WORKSHOP
Coach Marc Baur is well known for his on-going classes and audition workshops, which he does across Canada.
This highly informative workshop is packed with
practical techniques that you can actually use to take
your career to the next step. You'll learn techniques that will help you prepare instrumentally, enabling you to deal with nerves and bring your own unique qualities to the audition.
Then through a unique 14 point system, you'll also learn how to identify and fulfill the various character and textural
obligations of any side - giving you that all-important winning edge.
You choose your own side, or pick one from our scene library before the workshop. Then Marc will work your scene multiple times on camera, before you do your audition for Stuart Aikins.
After dinner, you'll work out with Stuart Aikins, one of Canada's top casting directors. When all scenes have been seen and worked, Stuart will field all questions from the group.
This workshop will be challenging. Might possibly be one of the most challenging workshops you have taken in some time.

their instrumental abilities
and craft oriented skills.
