Paul Weber is one of the most respected and prolific casting directors in Hollywood. As an exceptional teacher and communicator, Mr. Weber can clearly and effectively teach actors what to expect and how to best prepare for an audition.
Falcon/Narine Casting has been a leader in the casting community in Vancouver. In that time they have cast hundreds of television commercials, as well as dozen of feature films, episodic television series, reality programming, music videos, and short films. Their dedication, combined knowledge, experience, and talents, has led Falcon/Narine Casting to be one of the most recognized and respected names in Vancouver.
What:
A full day intensive that demystifies the audition process by educating the actor about the “business of the business”, and prepares the actor how to own who they are in the room in a truthful and creative way that allows the actor to be present in the moment and work from a place of power.
Why:
There are good actors and then there is what happens in “The Room.” The Audition – “The Room” in industry vernacular, is both a necessary element to casting any project and one of the most dreaded for all actors. It is easy to see why. In this inherently “unnatural” space, the actor must convince the casting director he or she is the “natural” choice for a role – often with limited time, under tremendous pressure, and competing with hundreds of talented peers waiting anxiously in the hall.
It feels a bit like a game and perhaps rightly so. But winning takes both skill and strategy. Would you start playing basketball without understanding the rules? Would you go “all in” at a poker table not knowing if your hand is good? Bluffing can only take you so far, and you can’t depend on luck alone.
So why go into an audition without doing everything you can to learn about the process?
