CASTING ASSOCIATE NAOMI JALIL & CASTING ASSISTANT EMMA JANE PURCELL | FULL DAY TV & FILM CASTING INTENSIVE

WORKSHOP FORMAT

In this full-day workshop, actors will gain valuable insight into the casting process from the perspective of a busy casting office. Drawing on their experience in casting, Naomi Jalil and Emma Jane Purcell will share practical advice on auditions, self-tapes, submissions, and what helps actors stand out in today's industry.

Prior to the workshop, Naomi and Emma Jane will review participants' Spotlight profiles. They will then select and send out scenes tailored to the group. Please choose the scenes that suit you best, regardless of gender, age or ethnicity, and come as prepared as possible.

Participants will perform and film two different scenes under professional audition conditions, giving them multiple opportunities to showcase their work and respond to direction. With the rest of the group observing, actors will experience a realistic casting environment while benefiting from our high-quality filming equipment and learning from one another's performances. Naomi and Emma Jane will provide personalised feedback and direction on each scene, allowing participants to make adjustments and explore different choices in the room.

The workshop will conclude with a short refreshment break and an informal Q&A, giving participants the opportunity to ask questions about the casting process, self-tapes, auditions, and working in a busy casting office.

**Your scenes will be recorded with broadcast quality equipment. Upon request, you have the option to receive your footage after the session for no extra cost!**
