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, May 22nd, 2010
TIME: 10:00 am to 2:00 pm
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

Comment from one of the first actors to
experience this new workshop
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.
Jordan
This is a workshop you must attend if your ready to move
