What are parents saying?
Cali,
Thank you for providing the excellent training for young actors today. I was a corporate trainer for ten years in Dallas, and I can say that you provided an effective, fine-tuned session for your class. You have a gift for coaching and teaching! Your critiques of each performance were productive and accurate. I heard one girl give her monologue four times, and through your coaching her delivery was better and better each time until she really gave it the emotion it needed. I’m so glad you taught them how to “be” the character instead of “acting” the character.
This was exactly what Trent needed at this point in his career. Thanks again. If you have any suggestions or comments for me as we find his direction and seek out auditions for him, I’d love to hear them!
By the way, Trent loved the monologue book and especially the one about the dance and the boy’s shirt getting stuck in the a/c unit!
All the best,
Barb Jones
IMPROV for ACTORS: Focusing on Auditions and Performance
One-on-one with a Casting Director
LOCATION: Moore Casting (Driving Directions on Web Site)
DATE: Saturday, April 27th, 2013
TIME: 10:00 am to 2:00 pm (now extended to 3pm)
COST: $125.00
Improv is not always about being funny. Its actually about thinking quickly on your feet and being able to react to any situation you may be placed in at an audition or performance.
Regina Moore and Barry McAlister have designed a workshop around improv skills that will, 1) give you simple but powerful tools to use, and 2) allow you to experience an audition through the eyes of the casting director.
Fun and eye opening sessions using improv games and exercises are used to explore basic elements that will put you miles ahead of the competition. Then commercials and scripts will be used to literally place the actor in the audition room, connecting with the casting director one on one.
It can be difficult to relax when the actor walks through the casting door, and this workshop helps each actor shed their fears and get comfortable as the casting room process is revealed. The basic fear is not knowing what to expect in an audition, and that can make it difficult to focus. Come see it from the Casting Directors perspective.
This workshop gives the actor useful, dynamic tools to work with, then provides one on one direction- all in a fun atmosphere that allows them to relax and learn.
The class is taught by improv performer and actor Barry McAlister. He has long been an on-camera actor and entertainer in the region. He is currently with the acclaimed troupe Improv Nashville, and has trained at the Second City in Chicago in improv and sketch comedy. He was also a Wolf Trap Teaching Artist in Metro Nashville Schools. Roles he’s created include “the dead guy” in country artist Joe Diffie’s “Prop Me Up Beside the Juke Box”, and the ice skating $100 bill for First Tennessean and the Predators. He also had the regions longest running children’s stage show “Juniper Junction”.
Casting Director, Regina Moore has been in the entertainment industry for over 30 years. Regina, first an actress, works currently as a casting director in the areas of Film, Television, Commercials, print, music videos and live performance. As an instructor, she relates to actors through casting and teaching. She is known for her ability to recognize potential and encouraging the growing actor with her straight forward, no nonsense approach. Her workshops deal with the audition process and she relates to the actor regardless of wither they are a beginner or a pro. She is accomplished in the field of casting, developing projects for production companies, and network television as a consultant in relationship to T.V. Hosts, actors, live performers, and audience related programming.
Hello, Regina!
The “improv” side of the class is the hook that got me interested in attending. The teaching presents a great beginning in an area I have heard about and seen but never actually tried out. It reminds me of stuff we did in college which I have, unfortunately, lost touch with. Taking your class tells me I must pursue that avenue further.
The “meet the casting director” side of the class is a very helpful bonus because it allows me to see behind the casting camera, presenting insights into how you do what you do, some whys, and some of how these things reflect what your clients are looking for. De-mystifying that experience promises me more peace of mind next time.
I was delighted with it all. Thanks for your efforts on my behalf.

THE YOUNG ACTOR’S “AUDITION REFRESHER” WORKSHOP
DATE: TBA
FOR: Ages 7 to 17
TIME: 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
COST: $125.00
I have been receiving calls from talent agents and parents who want something for their young performers focusing on auditioning.
I have found that young performers like the script / scene study as well as time spend doing improvisation. Both of those areas prepare the young actor for auditions for television, film and theater.
The most important thing we can do to help our young performers relax is to make the audition process a comfortable transition from the casting waiting room to the audition itself.
The more they can study with a script in their hand the better and improv is the foundation that true actors build their careers on. “Ninety percent of auditions, in some form or fashion, include the art of improv.”
I will be offering this one day workshop on selective Saturdays and it will begin at 10:00 AM and will continue until lunch at 12 noon. Each child should bring their lunch. We will pick up at 1:00 PM and study until 4:00 PM.
Instructors will include:
Regina Moore
Barry McAlister
An audition workshop is preparation and helps develop the edge to getting that job. When preparation meets opportunity it is only a matter of time for the right part to come along.

USING IMPROV TO DO YOUR BEST WORK (FOR THE YOUNG ACTOR)
“Get More Roles Using Improv Skills“
LOCATION: Moore Casting (Driving Directions on Web Site)
DATES: TBA
TIME: 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM
COST: $125.00
Producers, directors and casting agents constantly call on young actors to perform scripted pieces on the spot, or even make up material. It’s the actor who is prepared to give them what they want that will get the role! In this class you’ll learn to think quickly on your feet, learn to keep moving after mistakes (yours or those of others), do even better at auditions, and make the best of unexpected situations. It all comes from a good dose of improv! Its more than just a comedic art for, it’s a way to survive and get ahead as a young actor!
The class is a fun, hands-on experience that uses games and exercises to bring home simple fundamentals you won’t soon forget! Students will explore some basic fundamentals of how to approach a role and give you simple tools to use that will give you the confidence you need AND put you miles ahead of the competition! It’s all based on simple concepts that most actors know to use, but they don’t always remember how to best apply them.
Ninety percent of auditions, in some form or fashion, include the art of improv! Students often uncover skills they didn’t even know they had! Look at acting in a whole new way, and have fun learning how to give directors, producers, and employers just what they’re looking for- quickly, smoothly, and with ease!
The class is taught by improv performer and actor Barry McAlister. He has long been an on-camera actor and entertainer in the region. He is currently with the acclaimed troupe Improv Nashville, and has trained at the Second City in Chicago in improv and sketch comedy. He was also a Wolf Trap Teaching Artist in Metro Nashville Schools. Roles he’s created include “the dead guy” in country artist Joe Diffie’s “Prop Me Up Beside the Juke Box”, and the ice skating $100 bill for First Tennessean and the Predators. He also had the regions longest running children’s stage show “Juniper Junction”. Barry’s also a father of three- one professional dancer in NYC, one singer-dancer aspiring to cruise line work, and a young film-maker in the works.
