The Ultimate Deal! 4 kid classes over 2 weekends!!
8-12 yr olds

The Power of Voice - Level 1
In this safe environment class students will learn the power of voice. How to manipulate their voice in order to bring the most power to a scene.

Character Study - Level 1
In this class students will be required to pick a person they know in real life and study their character. The way they breathe, move their legs, their fingertips, talk and manner of speech etc.

Movement - Level 1- Let's loosen up and had some fun!!
In this class talent will use their whole body from head to toe to "let it all out and have some fun"! Games, improv and sheer goofiness.

Using music and rhythm - Level 1
The body is the instrument. We must keep it in tune. This class will focus on freeing the inner actor/actress trapped inside.

Special Note about workshops:
*The presence of a casting director at a workshop is neither a guarantee nor a promise of employment. The intent of the class is solely educational. Attending a workshop is not a way to obtain employment as an actor. Such contact as you may have with a casting director at a workshop does not always result in any further contact with that casting director. The casting director has insight into the audition process. It is highly recommended that active working professional actors should be in a class at least once a week to maintain sharpness and skill improvement. Take various workshops and classes to gain the most knowledge in your career

Forensic Factor - CAST

April 11 - NEW HEADSHOT & PERSONAL ASSESSMENT

Unbelievable offer: $199 for a new headshot (our costs increased so we had to adjust the rate)
Includes a personal assessment day by a working casting director and professional photographer

Did you know your headshot is about the size of a quarter on the casting directors computer? It must be something that catches their eye so they click on your photo. If not then you are just another actor who got passed by because your photo did not stand out.

Back by popular demand Crystal Casting and Tom Tkach photography have created an unbelievable offer. Spend a day with a casting director discussing your look and ways you could be marketing yourself in a better way. In this unique workshop learn what casting directors look for in a headshot and how to make yours the best that it can be. Session is 12:30-4:30pm on Sunday April 4th. Then on a separate day you will get a photo shoot with Tom and have one of your looks photographed. Tom Tkach is known as one of Toronto's top professional photographers. www.tomtkach.com. Tom will also be attending the workshop for a short time to assess the students and determine along with Crystal what the best 1st look would be and if the person would like extra looks then we could suggest different ones as well.

Please email me photo and resume to: crystalcasting@yahoo.ca
SUBJECT LINE: HEADSHOT WORKSHOP
