Morning - Industry Experience Day:

At a typical Industry experience day, students will be part of a supportive, enriching and exciting experience. Following a friendly welcome and registration, all attendees are sorted into three age appropriate groups. The three groups will follow a carousel of three main industry experience workshops which are as follows:

Audition Workshop - This workshop is an upbeat class that gets the students warmed up, relaxed and comfortable. One of our vibrant workshop leaders will work on a combination of choreography, scene work and sometimes a song too. This friendly workshop class also allows students to build new relationships with others through group tasks and icebreakers.

Panel Auditions - Our students are given the opportunity to perform a pre learned piece. This might be a song or monologue or in some cases both. We welcome our students to prepare their own audition piece however we will also send out a selection of material that we know are perfect for auditions and show young people in the best light. We can have anywhere between 2-5 agents on the panel on the day who will give live constructive feedback to all students in the room. Where possible, we will try to give some brief written feedback to each attendee.

Headshot Sessions and App Practice - A professional photographer who has worked alongside agencies and the stars of the stage and screen will take headshots. Someone will be on hand to help our students with hair and make up where appropriate and we suggest that students bring a smart looking, neutral top (no logos or patterns) to wear for their headshots. All students will receive a gallery of images within a few weeks after the Experience day. One of these images will be free to download as part of the cost of the day. All the other images are purchasable. In addition to getting their headshots, within this session a member of the team will be on hand to take the students through some of the fantastic content available on the Audition Ready App.

Q&A for Parents - At the end of the day students will be brought back to their parents/guardians ready for a Q&A session. During this time we will give an overview of what the students have experienced, some top tips and next steps following the Industry Experience Day as well as taking questions from parents/guardians.

Afternoon - Screen Acting Masterclass:
