Over 15 lessons and 5 hours of content, you’ll be challenged to do more than just read lines off a page. You’ll learn how to create characters that are truly compelling — the kind that Casting Directors can’t ignore.

Through the eyes of veteran Casting Director Greg Apps (with over 70 films cast), you’ll discover:

  • 🎭 How to break free from flat, forgettable performances
  • 🎬 What Casting Directors really look for when skimming through 50+ tapes for the same role
  • 📖 How to work with real pages and real-life examples to build characters that leap off the screen
  • 🎥 The exact process for creating a self-tape that tells a story, not just recites dialogue

By the end of the course, you won’t just have knowledge — you’ll have a knockout demo reel, packed with characters that create resonance and stick in the mind of every Casting Director who watches.
