Hosted by Anji Carroll, Casting Director
Before an audition, either for a self-tape or in-person, actors are usually sent sides. However, these are often a short section from a much larger script so Anji will be explaining how to work with such a short piece of text, and how to analyse that script to use it in the most effective way to portray the character.
