I was apprehensive about this one but I am so glad I did this course- the wealth of information that Andy have left me with a proper direction and confidence to go after my dreams in a very positive way. Love and recommend this course to anyone who is serious about acting.

Andy is not only a kind and welcoming presence in the room but he was also honest about the industry standards and how to create an image that is authentically you without “fitting into a box”.

His descriptions and discussions on branding is not what you would expect when you hear that word but it is so much more in depth and unique to every individual which I loved, as opposed to “which typecast/character can I play”.

The in-depth discussions helped solidify my unique branding and what to look for when finding scenes for showreels. I learnt so much and spent the weekend and will spend the coming weeks breaking down and rebuilding my resume, showreels, headshots etc to assist in showing the best of myself. I left with confidence not only in the industry but back in myself, as I felt I had some solid footing after the crazy last two years.

I really hope to do some more workshops in the future and learn more about the industry from his unique and knowledgeable perspective! I would definitely recommend checking out this workshop if you get the chance! Thank you again Andy! You’ve taught me so much!

Andy Rappos has a breadth of knowledge about both the Australian and US industries. Because of this course I've been able to see what I need to change in my materials to get myself over the line in getting a high tier agent and getting those call backs from auditions! I now feel more focused and ready to get back into the industry! Definitely worth attending as the knowledge is absolutely invaluable!

Jo was so lovely, honest and open - I would definitely recommend taking a class with her expertise!

Jo Briant is a nurturing, encouraging & inclusive coach. She's the epitome of being 'present' and has a depth of experience & knowledge that she shares with generosity. She opened my eyes wide to things I didn't realise I was doing. Loved it.

What a fabulous, inspiring course. So nice to be able to ask questions and get feedback on the things that you never usually find out or hear in and after castings and to then be able to apply what you learn to better yourself and improve. Jo is so open and giving. Her kind and genuinely caring nature helps put you at ease and brings out the best 😊

This was the BEST Casting Director and Acting workshop of my LIFE ! It was fantastic. I feel so fortunate to have been in Tom's class. WOW. !!!!! Fantastic. Thank you Tom and TAFTA for this incredible experience.

Leigh's Casting Director workshop was fantastic - interactive, informative, inspiring and very interesting ! - Diane Keogh

Leigh's feedback was insightful, in depth and extremely helpful. He created a safe space where we could challenge ourselves. He encouraged us to do the best work we could all while being incredibly kind and down to earth. Learnt a lot! - Madeleine Wighton

It was so insightful hearing from Vicki, both to understand the process behind what she does and to take away tangible steps that would help in creating something as an actor. Vicki brought a beautiful openness, transparency and generosity and I loved hearing from her. Thanks Vicki! - Tess Dobre
