CONDIÇÕES DE ACESSO: Applicants will be expected to have a good level of English (Upper Intermediate/Advanced) and undergo a small written test online to ascertain their level of English and describe what difficulties they generally encounter in castings.
PROGRAMA/OBJECTIVOS: This is a practical course designed for Portuguese actors auditioning for English speaking roles. It is aimed at providing Portuguese actors with the tools to help them feel more at ease when auditioning in English. It will include a casting simulation, presentation and practice of typical questions the actor needs to ask and answer in the audition interview, talking about professional biography, breaking down an English text for meaning, pronunciation, stress and intonation and, most importantly, practice in delivering a text in English. Actors will be “coached” by trainers using English dialogues and texts, as well as being expected to learn a short audition piece in English to present to the class.
