Led by a professional casting director, this hands-on elective gives teen actors an inside look at the casting process for both theater and film. Students learn on-camera audition technique, how to present themselves confidently in the room, and how to make quick, specific adjustments from direction.

Through mock auditions and individualized feedback, students gain valuable insight into what casting professionals look for—building confidence, skill, and professionalism for real-world auditions.
