Feedback from recent workshop:   

“You both (Paige and Tim) explained and demystified the whole experience for me. The workshop was extremely informative and lively, and the on-camera work and instant feedback were truly eye opening.  I now feel I have the tools and  

knowledge to walk into a commercial audition with confidence”

YOU, the actor,  will ‘audition’ other actors with sides from various spots.

“Who Got That Job?”

with    

Paige Johnston Thomas      

 

 

Who DID get that job??  This workshop offers an unprecedented insight to the audition and decision making process – a view that you, as actors, rarely get to witness.  You will be given sides from an actual C&J audition to work on in class.  After working with Paige directly on those sides (valuable tips and tricks and techniques!) you then get to see the audition of the

person who actually got that job and discuss the

hows and whys of that decision process!
