We are thrilled to present another workshop in our ongoing series with acclaimed Manitoba Casting Director, Jim Heber. This monthly offering is designed to help actors elevate their audition skills and gain the tools they need to book roles. Hosted entirely on Zoom, the series welcomes artists to join us from around the world. You’ll receive hand-picked audition sides to prepare, and then perform on the day. You will receive live, personalized feedback from Jim and the opportunity to incorporate the feedback and work on your scene.

NEXT: Short-Form Audition Skills. Friday, April 24th at 6pm. Acceptance by application.

You know those audition scenes with one line? Maybe two? Or those ones with more reaction than action?

How do you fill a short scene with all the character, presence, and emotion you can offer as an actor, without pushing or overdoing it?

Join us for an evening with Jim Heber to hone your short-form audition skills. Learn how to start and end your scene effectively, set up your home audition/self-tape space for success, and make a strong impression with a few words.
