screen acting and self taping workshop
“Alexa's approach to the craft and the industry is understanding, motivating and playful. My only regret is not discovering Alexa and her work sooner!”
- Heather, workshop attendee
WHY THIS WORKSHOP?
This isn’t just a workshop where you sit and wait your turn to present on camera, nervously anticipating how you might be perceived. I aim to provide a supportive, confident boosting environment where you can feel rejuvenated in the craft of acting, while learning how to apply that to the ‘business’ of auditioning, self taping, and working on set.
This workshop is 6 hours long because it is a training, process focussed, experience. The first two hours will be off camera; practical, and collaborative. The remaining 4 hours are so that each participant can have individual time to workshop and explore a scene on camera. Participants will be given a selection of scenes to choose one from and prepare, or they are welcome to bring a scene themselves.
If you’re familiar with me and stories I tell on the podcast you’ll know that I left drama school with no confidence and constantly working towards that next thing that made me feel valid as an actor. Coming to North America and attending ongoing acting classes and workshops tailored for screen helped me find my confidence and love of the craft again. I wasn’t just thinking about what to do to “stand out” and book the role, I was bringing my best self to the role, the character and the scene, and the rest fell into place. I want to help you get to that place too. Where an audition or self tape comes through and you feel excited and ready to throw yourself into the entire process of preparing for a tape, instead of just seeing it as a means to an end.
