Do you want to go into the entertainment
industry? Are you looking for the right information to get
started?
-
Wouldn't it be great to learn more about how to prepare
for an interview, on-stage competition or simply how to
develop your own sense of style?
-
You can! Learn from the experts!
We're presenting this information in a one-day workshop,
jam-packed with tips, facts and advice!
The day will consist of four different break-out sessions
for participants.
Sessions will include:
-
Working with the Camera:
Participants will study
improvisation as a tool to integrate the different styles
and skills for acting in front of the camera for media,
television, film, and reporting.
-
Preparing for the Entertainment Industry:
From the
importance of first impressions and presentation to the
truth about finding an agent and auditioning, participants
will learn how to navigate a path through the confusing
world of the entertainment industry.
-
Establishing your Ideal Presentation:
Participants will
learn how to select and apply the right modeling, make-up,
talent, etiquette techniques and overall style to best
highlight their personal strengths. Whether on or off the
stage, these presentation skills will last a lifetime.
-
Navigate the Interview Room from all sides of the Table:
This session
will teach participants everything they need to know to take
the mystery
out of the interview process. Overall interview technique,
paperwork
completion, platform development and the Children's Miracle
Network will
all be discussed. Participants will also see an actual
judges' ballot in
order to learn the process from all sides of the interview
table!
