QLD: US Casting Director Donna Morong One Day Casting Masterclass 2:00pm TO 8:30PM

TAFTA is so excited to welcome US Casting Director Donna Morong (Morong Casting) back to Australia!

Donna is know for casting films such as: 10 Things I Hate About You, The Princess Diaries, Shanghai Knights, Dan in Real Life, The Hot Chick, Annapolis and Gone Baby Gone, plus a whopping three films currently in pre-production. Her ability to spot talent helped launch many successful careers including Heath Ledger, Jennifer Garner, Chris Pine, Rachel McAdams, Anne Hathaway, and Joseph Gordon Levitt.

Donna is running a series of exclusive Self Taping, Audition Technique & Casting Masterclasses in Australia this September, with two extended sessions for Melbourne actors!

For anyone looking to audition for US productions, this workshop will teach you valuable tools on self taping and in-room auditioning, and the standard required to audition for international projects. Plus, this is a rare opportunity to meet and work with a US Casting Director in Australia!

Donna is also a Meisner teacher, and was an actor prior to becoming a Casting Director, having trained for many years at the William Esper Meisner Studio. This Masterclass will cover Self-Taping, Auditioning, Audition and acting technique, and Call back techniques.

COURSE OUTLINE:

Donna will choose a self tape scene for you based on your CV & Headshots, you will then do a self tape of your chosen scene and send it through to TAFTA, who will pass it onto Donna.

During the Masterclass there will be a quick Q&A Session, followed by feedback on your self tape scene, and retaping of your scene in the room with Donna. Donna will pinpoint your obstacles and give you tools and techniques to overcome them.

After the dinner break you will return for callback practice with brand new scenes.

Donna does not visit Australia often, so don’t miss out on this opportunity to book into this high-demand workshop! Strictly limited spaces to allow for maximum time on the floor with Donna.
