U.S. Accent Workshop - Led by Richard Hollingworth of Veryvocab.co.uk
SATURDAY 13TH DECEMBER - 10AM - 4PM
WORKSHOP FEE: £40
This workshop is designed to help actors develop, refine, define, tweak, speak and perform in character with a General US Accent. It’s a practical day that explores the speech qualities of American actors and broadcasters and outlines the key qualities of their accent. We’ll be looking at the ideal accent and articulation warm ups, as well as character games, scene readings, recording & reflecting exercises, and exchanging the most useful tips and tricks for an authentic blend of character and accent.
With this workshop, you’re likely to leave with a much clearer picture of the sounds of the General US Accent, how to use them and also much more capable of using it in an authentic manner.
If you need any more info or have any questions about the workshop in the meantime, drop me (Rick) a line at [email protected]

Audition Intensive Day
Sarah Hughes
November 19TH (11.15-18.00)
Keywords: AUDITION | PRACTICAL | TECHNIQUE | MOCK AUDITIONS | SCREEN & THEATRE
This full day workshop is designed to give you lots of practice in all sorts of mock audition situations. We will be working in a small group on a quick-fire mix of many different types of potential auditions, from monologues to improvisations, scenes from classic plays, filmed TV drama scenes, sitcom scenes and commercial or corporate scripts. There will be some work prepared in advance and some cold readings too. This will be an extremely practical and lively day with much more doing than talking, with an aim of losing your inhibitions and facing your fears and getting you feeling confident and ready to tackle whatever a real audition situation might throw at you.
Making the Meeting Work
Paul Clayton
November 25TH (10.00-13.00)
Keywords: AUDITIONS | POSITIVITY | PRESENTATION | ENERGY | PERSONALITY
So often when actors approach castings, we think that success relies on our audition piece or on our reading of the sides we’ve been sent. Of course the things that make the lasting impression are people. People hire people. Are you being assessed on suitability or potential? How can you leave a lasting impression in the room, and make sure they learn a little bit about who you are as a person. This workshop will look at everything that goes on in a meeting other than actually doing your audition. From door-to-door, this workshop will look at proven networking techniques that can help enhance your chance of getting the work.
How to Play Comedy on Screen
Caroline Webster
December 10TH (11.15-18.00)

A fun one-day workshop that will help you develop the skills you need to prepare and play a comedy character on screen. Using scripted scenes from TV and film, Caroline will guide you through understanding the structure of comedy screenplays, and what makes a funny character. Through making clear, dynamic thought-process choices, and observing the comic rhythm of the script, you will have the opportunity to rehearse and record your scene on camera. Scripts will be provided, a camera operator will be present, and all scenes will be reviewed at the end of the day.
