Hey everybody! Well the workshop happens in about three weeks, and I have another exciting announcement to make. Our guest director on day two of the workshop (Sun 1/26), is none other than award-winning director Jason Satterlund of Big Puddle Films. Jason has many great projects happening and slated for 2014, and has graciously offered an afternoon of his busy time to work with the young actors in the workshop. I am very thrilled to have him join us, and the feedback/critique session with Jason and Dennis Troutman is sure to be a memorable one!
The workshop takes place Sat and Sun, 1/25&26, from 10am-5pm each day. Cost is $260 for the two-day event. Anyone who pays in full before 1/15 gets a discounted rate of $225. I also have discounts for families with multiple young actors. Use the PayPal button at the top right of this page to secure your spot today!

January 2014 Kids Workshop Curriculum and Guest Announcement!
Hey everybody, I have some exciting guests to introduce, as well as a curriculum for the upcoming audition intensive weekend workshop on January 25th and 26th, 2014! A PayPal option is available to the top right of the blog,
with an Early Bird Special for anyone that pays in full before January
15th. There is also a discount for families with multiple young actors.
GUEST ANNOUNCEMENT:
For this two-day, action-packed, on-camera audition workshop, I am very fortunate to have lined up two amazing guests: casting director Lori Lewis of Free Spirit Casting, and talent agent Dennis Troutman of Option Model and Media. Lori will be joining us in the second half of the day on Saturday, as the kids do their "first read" audition simulations. Dennis will come later on Sunday to watch the taped audition reviews and give feedback. Both will be available for brief Q&As with young actors and parents, at the end of their visits. I am also going to have a guest director coming on the first half of Sunday's session, when we will be doing the "callbacks". As most of the very good directors I know are busy, this is a tough slot to fill. I'm still waiting to hear a definitive answer from my first choice. As soon as I have a name, I will share it.
