Workshop Acting in English (Sept. 30 to Oct. 3. 2010)

. . .“ School English is not enough. During the casting of Pope Joan, if I heard a German accent when an actor spoke, I knew it would be a problem for the US or UK production people. Actors need to keep training and improving their skills, like a musician or dancer.". . .

More and more Hollywood productions are being produced in Europe (Germany, Italy, France, UK) and they need to cast local actors for roles.

Are you fit enough with your English to compete for such a role? If you’re not sure, then please read on.
