Greg Apps celebrates 52 years in the film industry this year. As an actor, he worked across stage, radio, television, and film, appearing in Sunday Too Far Away, Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith, and Mad Dog Morgan alongside Denis Hopper. On stage, he played Brad in the original Australian production of The Rocky Horror Show—and claims his legs still look great in fishnets.
As a casting director, Greg has cast over 85 feature films, including Chopper, Romper Stomper, Mission Impossible II, and Knowing. He served on the Australian Film Institute Board for seven years and was named one of the 20 Most Influential People in the Australian Film Industry by IF Magazine in 2004. He was also the inaugural President of the Casting Guild of Australia.
A passionate educator, Greg has taught at NIDA, WAAPA, QUT, VCA, Flinders Uni, and more. He has pioneered a unique approach to actor self-tapes, blending digital tools, social media, and his deep expertise in acting, casting, and auditioning.
What do they say?
The best investment you could make right now is doing this course. No question. This course is a total game changer and changes the language from "if only I could be seen" to "if only I do the work I can have the opportunities I deserve" -- just do it- oh and it's heaps for fun and the people are amazing who do it with you! JUST DO IT! amazing!!
This course has been such a wonderful learning experience. I have gained the freedom to be myself on camera and that translates to more confident and freer choices in my self tapes. The insights that Greg has given are useful and so current to our rapidly changing world. I have thoroughly enjoyed working consistently on my craft because the Audition Technique allows you to work on your acting when it suits your schedule.
Creating Compelling Characters course has been one of the most useful tools for a recent film I was fortunate to be a part of here in NY. From wardrobe to mannerisms, Greg covers it all and always has a way of cutting through the noise and highlighting what actually shines on screen and in auditions. Highly recommended.
Greg offers an astute insight into what it takes to be remembered. My previous learning had been how to be once I have attained a job, but then merely getting into the room and creating a lasting impression is an art in itself. I would absolutely recommend the TAT to those who need a kick and some extra motivation. My thinking has certainly changed!
At this stage in my life and career, I’m looking for a unique perspective on what industry professionals respond to and how to leverage what I bring to-the-table. My recent on-on-one with Greg was eye-opening, fun, insightful, and an exceptional learning experience. I’ll be a better actor as a result — and plan to continue the journey.
