The Actor's Key offers acting classes and workshops with casting directors for both adult actors and young people. These workshops are a "key" for actors to get a leg up on the competition, and walk through the door to the next level of success. Think of the workshops as individual "tutoring sessions", where you work with someone who will help give you advice on improvement, and point you in the direction of bettering yourself as an actor and as a professional.

One of the best aspects of our workshops is that you are one on one, paired with a screened, skilled, professional actor who is your reader, and there purely for YOUR benefit. Their goal is to make YOU look good (as opposed to a random partner who may be there to personally impress the CD), so that the CD can accurately aid you with advice on becoming a stronger performer.

The workshops are an excellent way for the seasoned veteran to further their career by getting in front of people with experience in what it takes to reach the next level, and learning from their expertise. Our workshops are intended to help actors learn what casting directors look for, and fine tune the skills they have been learning in regular acting classes. Workshops ARE NOT auditions and ARE NOT a means of procuring employment, and we encourage you to think of them as tutoring , educational sessions.

The Actor's Key is unique because the actor is always working with a scene we give you ahead of time —and again, one on one with a reader— so you get to prepare and be spectacular in front of the casting person, so they can truly see what you are strongest at, and helpt you figure out what you need to work on. To that end, you get written feedback every time, invaluable for passing on to your representation so they can better guide you, and for your growth as an actor, so that you can improve your skill set in order to reach your professional goals.

We highly recommend using these workshops synergistically with acting classes (we offer a few and can recommend some fabulous acting teachers for private coaching!) to gain a full, well-rounded education in the business of acting and the craft of performing. Acting classes help you to learn how to be a good actor— casting director workshops aid you in honing those skills with the aid of professionals in the show business industry.

 

DISCLAIMER: This is not a job interview or audition. The presence of a casting director is neither a guarantee nor a promise of employment. The intent of the class is solely educational. Attending a Workshop is not a way to obtain employment as an actor. Such contact as you may have with a casting director at a workshop rarely results in any further contact with that casting director or any company affiliated with that casting director. If you choose to hand your headshot, reel, calling card, or any other means of future communication to the casting person, you do so at your own discretion, and not on our behalf.
