THE INDEPENDENT FILM ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHERN ARIZONA PROUDLY PRESENTS

PAUL WEBER

Hollywood Casting Director

“THE ART OF AUDITIONING”

WORKSHOP

 

Longtime Executive “Head of Television Casting” and “Feature Film Consultant” for MGM Studios

Auditioning takes both Skill and Strategy. You wouldn’t go “all in” at a poker table without knowing what a winning hand looks like—So why go into an Audition without understanding the process and what makes a winner?!

 

Paul Weber is one of the most respected and prolific Casting Directors in Hollywood. As an exceptional teacher and communicator, Mr. Weber can clearly and effectively teach Actors and Independent Producers what to expect and how to best prepare for an audition.

 

The First Half of the Workshop will Teach you:

·     The Casting Perspective: What Casting professionals expect from Actors/What key elements are they looking for.

·         Why Some Actors Succeed: What makes Johnny Depp, Dakota Fanning and Reese Witherspoon successful.

·         What You Can Do Right Now: How to Jumpstart your career with valuable self-branding and marketing tips.

·         How Not to get an Agent: Protocol for contacting Agents, etc – and surefire ways to never get one.

·         Headshots and Resumes: The most up-to-date information on these Crucial Tools.

 

The Second Half focuses on the ACTUAL Audition: Paul is allowing up to 24 “Active Participants” to get up on their feet and will receive one-on-one Coaching/Guidance! Learn by DOING:

·         The Anatomy of the Audition

·         How to make the Boldest, most Effective Choices in the Room

·         The importance of Listening, Cold Reading Techniques and Script Analysis
