She has also recently worked with Hallmark on A Melbourne Match, starring Mallory Jansen, Ryan Corr and our very own John Orcsik.

Thea’s approach to casting is fun, positive and welcoming - you will feel comfortable to be yourself and show your best work in this Casting Workshop!

"Thea is a lovely person & casting director. She's warm, friendly, understanding, supportive and has heaps of great advice and insights to put us actors both at ease and to get the best out of us. She's awesome."

In this hands-on workshop participants will: 

  • Will perform a scene for Thea, and she will give you direction and feedback on your scene, which you will need to bring into your next take

  • (if time permits it) You will get a chance to do a cold read of a new scene and work on the fly, just like in the audition room! 

  • a Q&A where Thea will provide invaluable insight into casting in the T.V. and Film industry.

PREPARATION: 

We will send you a scene 5 to 7 days prior to class commencement. Please ensure you have learnt this scene - treat this like an audition!

AGE LIMIT: 16+
