The On-Camera Casting Course is a highly practical training designed to bring the actor closer to the real conditions of an audiovisual casting. Throughout the course, the entire process is covered, from the analysis and preparation of sides to the development of a performance proposal, the recording of a self-tape, receiving directions, and simulating a professional casting with a callback.

The methodology combines individual work in front of the camera, viewing, feedback, repetition, and redirection, allowing the student to train not only their acting skills but also their ability to quickly adapt to the requirements of a professional audition.

What will I achieve upon completing the training

At the end of the course you will have concrete tools to approach an audiovisual casting process with greater confidence, autonomy and adaptability.

Analyse sides and quickly identify its essential elements.
Build a personal interpretative proposal.
Work with greater naturalness and presence in front of the camera.
Use the reader and eyeline correctly.

Gain confidence when facing a selection process.
In short, you will finish the training with practical tools to prepare, record and perform an audiovisual audition, but also to adapt to the direction and specific needs of a casting.

Why choose this training at FX

Because learning to do a good casting is not just about performing a scene well: it also involves knowing how to prepare it, make decisions, adapt to direction and confidently present your proposal in front of the camera.

This course allows you to train precisely those situations in a practical environment, working from the preparation of the sides to self-taping, feedback, re-direction and callbacks.

Moreover, the learning is conducted with Marcos Franz, a professional who combines his experience as an actor with teaching on-camera acting and who has worked on national and international productions.

It is a particularly valuable training for anyone who wants to turn casting into a professional tool, gain autonomy when preparing their auditions and develop their own criteria to know what to do — and what to avoid — when in front of a camera.
