A
Casting Director with Vancouver’s Top Coach in a
Toronto seminar.
Paul Weber and Simon Longmore team up for their first ever workshop in
Toronto. The workshop will begin with a seminar where Paul will discuss
your headshots, give audition advice and answer any questions you have.
After the seminar, actors will be given scenes to prepare and present.
After receiving feedback, actors will perform the scene a second time,
considering Paul's notes, and again receive feedback about their
performance.
Who is Paul Weber? Paul Weber is the in-house Casting Director for MGM Worldwide
Television. Paul is currently casting roles in Vancouver for the TV
series "Stargate Atlantis". Other projects Paul has worked on include
feature films "Ready or Not" and "Species: The Awakening" as well as
the MOW "Blithe and Virginia". Paul is in active development with the
studio on new pilots, features and series for the 2009-2010 season.
Who is Simon Longmore? Simon has been acting since 1984 and coaching actors since 1993. He
started coaching at Actors Working Academy and in 2000 he opened his
own school, Vancouver Academy of Dramatic Arts. As a coach, Simon has
taught over 5000 actors and has produced some of Canada’s top
names. As an actor Simon has worked with A-list actors, been cast in
all genres of films and his talent wins him a spot in the audition room
over and over again, as well as the respect of every casting director
he auditions for.
