Apply below.
Spend a full day in the room with a working casting director. This one‑day workshop is built around the two things that decide most auditions: the self tape you send in, and the choices you make once you're on the floor.
Led by Natalie Wall of Barrett Casting, the day moves from self tape review to live audition and scene work. You'll see what casting directors actually look for, then put it straight into practice with feedback and direction on camera.
The Approach
My approach is based on a genuine respect for actors and an appreciation of what they need to do their best work. I enjoy creative conversations, digging deep to uncover exciting new talent, and coming up with innovative ways to solve complex casting challenges. Natalie Wall

Who Is This Workshop For?
This workshop is designed for actors with some level of training or on‑set experience who are ready to test their work in front of a professional casting director. It is not a beginner course.
As part of your application you'll be asked to send in a short self tape. It doesn't need to be perfect. It simply helps us understand where you're at and make sure the room is right for you.
The workshop is best suited to actors who want honest feedback on their self tapes, a clearer audition technique, and the chance to do focused scene work with real direction. It's about deepening the work itself, not performing for approval. The presence of a casting director is not a guarantee or promise of employment.
Strictly Limited to 14 Actors
The day is intentionally kept small to ensure every actor gets time on the floor, a self tape reviewed, and meaningful feedback from Natalie.
Places are limited and offered by application.
