What you'll learn
Greg Apps has taken over a million auditions. Each one is, at its very heart, is a meeting. A career opportunity.
Course content
Remember every time your agent, or a Casting Director sees you they are forming an opinion. Here we learn how to make that opinion a positive one.
What do you know about the person conducting your meeting / audition? More importantly what do they know about you and what part of you are you going to be portraying?
Learn how to present what the Decision Maker is looking for and to dress accordingly. What person or type of you are you going to show me when you come in to audition? Learn that different people need to see different sides and how to delineate between them.
In an Audition - what is the difference between the two?
This course is not teaching you about stage craft but about auditioning for screen.
Without screen qualities it is easy to come over as a ‘try hard’ and sycophant. Learn how to present your genuine self. In other words don’t push it!
In this lesson we learn the second most valuable tool you need as an actor and how telling the truth can NOT get you remembered!
Ok. You have the audition but what is the Casting Director looking for?
Hint: It’s not the best actor! What special qualities do you have? What is the most important quality to have as an actor? It’s these qualities that we want to see, that we are looking for, in EVERY audition.
Learn what we are looking for in the call back session of your audition and why this is so important for actors to know.
We start to bring together everything we have talked about
In this lesson we are talking about the third critical quality that you must supply to be welcomed, remembered, and fascinating in face to face experiences.
But there is one factor that is so often ignored by actors in the audition space. We all do it on a daily basis but it seems so easily bypassed in the audition space. Learn what this is and how important it is to deliver an audition that engages with both your reader and your Decision Maker.
Your presentation and attitude is paramount to how you are perceived. No matter who you are meeting, it is important to make them feel important.
Remember, this is their meeting. What sort of research do you need to do to not only be remembered whilst in the room but more importantly when you’re not in the room?

What do they say?
If you are serious about your acting then you need to invest in your career by enrolling in both the Self taping School and Creating Compelling Characters courses. These courses will educate and equip you to be audition ready and express confidence in the characters you are born to play.
What I loved about this course is it's structured in such a way that, step by step, you learn new behaviours to assist with not only your audition delivery but also your career delivery. You learn to see your work as a Casting Director might. You learn to deliver character in a more memorable way. And you learn how to put your best foot forward.
TAT has helped me understand my branding and provided tools and the environment for self-discovery in my acting and camera technique. It has challenged and empowered me to approach auditions with a sense of play, something I never thought I'd be able to do! Greg Apps 1-on-1 feedback is truly a gift. The experience of exchanging support with international classmates is invaluable. I highly recommend this class!
