Casting Directors Workshop

Network and strut your stuff for 6 of NYC's busiest commercial casting directors.

With a small, intimate class size of 10 you will present yourself by reading copy in the relaxed and fun environment that Brooke and Mary provide.

  • Casting Directors:

    Ashley Marshall of Beth Melsky Casting

    Abby Salzberg of Stacy Gallo Casting

    Angela Mickey of Liz Lewis Casting

    Doreen Frumkin of Doreen Frumkin Casting

    Mary Callahan of House Casting

    Brooke Thomas of Brooke Thomas Casting

The evening will start with a short interview followed by 2 pieces of commercial copy, provided in advance. Feedback and re-direction is given and is followed by an open Q&A discussion. This is the workshop for you if you are looking to get more auditions.  How can casting directors call you in if they don't know how you handle copy and direction.

All of the casting directors in attendance work on commercials and are always looking for new talent.

Brooke & Mary say: "The reason this workshop is awesome is because it allows the casting directors to see the actor respond to direction. It's a no-brainer, win-win for all. This workshop is always a quick sell-out so sign up fast."

You must have 6 head shots and resumes to attend. Beverages and snacks will be provided.

Date: Tuesday October 29, 2019 . 7pm-9pm.

Location: Envision Studio, 60 Madison Avenue, Suite 601, NYC

Cost: $200.00

Your Hosts: Brooke & Mary
