Help your child feel confident, prepared, and excited about commercial auditions!
This fun, supportive one-day workshop is designed to introduce young performers to the basics of on-camera commercial acting. Led by Vancouver’s foremost commercial casting director Kathleen Mayrs, kids will learn simple, practical techniques that help them feel comfortable in front of the camera - while still being themselves!
What we’ll cover:
On-camera basics - understanding framing, camera angles, and where to look
Building confidence on camera
Ad-libbing and natural delivery for commercial dialogue
Storytelling through facial expressions and authentic reactions
Working both solo and with a partner!
Practicing auditioning in person*
…there will also be a 15-minute Q&A session at the end for parents!
*It is VERY beneficial for actors/kids to actually SEE what their auditions look like, so we will film both their performances and all the feedback - they will receive their footage after the workshop! Please be sure you have sufficient storage on your computer. You will have 1 week to download your footage onto your own desk top or lap top. This format is not downloadable on cell phones. We CANNOT store everyones footage. If you do not download it yourself, your footage will be gone.
12 kids maximum.
No acting experience necessary.
Workshops will be split up into two ages groups, ages 6-8 and ages 9-12.
“I loved this class so much! I learned how to make my self-tapes way better, like where to look, how to set up my camera, and how to try different takes to see what works best.
It was really fun learning how to take direction and make little changes that make a big difference.
My favourite part was getting feedback on my slate and audition, it helped me understand what I’m doing well and what I can improve. I feel way more confident now and I’m really excited to start getting callbacks and bookings!”
