I truly believe that focusing more on scene study in this class has helped me to reach a new level of authenticity on film. It was a great blend of receiving acting and technical feedback. The great thing about the teachers is that students get very honest feedback that helps them improve a lot faster. They are also readily available for all questions in and outside of class and are incredibly helpful in providing advice about the industry. I very much appreciated my time in the class and feel that I have improved and learned a great deal. It is most definitely time well spent training in Camera 2.\n~ Rebecca Kim \n[divider_line type=”divider_line”] \n“Working with David and Tony in the Camera 2 class has been instrumental in re-framing how I approach my scene work and character development. They offered challenging alternate choices for given situations that gave me the freedom to continue to discover nuances and build higher stakes throughout the filming process\, take after take after take… I feel that I have left this class with more valuable tools than I anticipated and I’m eager to put them to use in my work moving forward. Also to work with these two again!

SUMMARY:CD POV Seminar with Nike Imoru\, CSA
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: CD POV seminar.\nAGE: 13 and up. Parents are encouraged to attend with their children. There is a lot of important information for young actors and their guardians.\nWHEN: October 27\, 7-9PM.\nWHERE: Northwest Film Forum. \nPurchase your ticket at the bottom of this page. \nWhat is CD POV? – (Casting Director’s Point of View) is a workshop created by Ms. Imoru\, in which she converts the workshop space into a literal casting studio and takes participants behind the scenes of the casting process. Participants then ‘play’ casting director\, writer(s)\, producer(s)\, camera operator(s)\, and of course\, actor(s).  She recreates both the intense casting environment and shares the unique kinds of “data” that the “end user” (producers) sees in order to make their final choices in the casting process. \nThis Mighty Tripod ProductionsT/Nike Imoru Casting seminar draws on CD POV  and offers a view of the casting process from that unique perspective. \nMore Info (Some of the info below will also be featured in the next Nike Imoru Casting newsletter): \nBetween March 5th and September 25th 2104\, Nike Imoru\, CSA \nReviewed – 3000 on-line actor profiles (1100  for series regular roles) \nObserved  – 2000 audition self tapes; \nAuditioned – 900 hundred actors from Idaho to New York \nConducted – 300 hours of live casting sessions in Seattle and Spokane \nCoached –  88  days on set with lead actors;  and finally \nCast 90% NW actors in Z Nation\, currently SyFy Channel’s top rated original series! \nFor her second seminar collaboration with MTP\, Ms. Imoru will discuss the behind-the-scenes aspect of her work as a casting director who now works in tandem with executive producer and screen writers. \n\nHow DO you get cast in a network tv show in the NW?\nHow does the actor improve their chances of  being seen and being cast?\nWhat are the differences between auditioning for the networks and auditioning for film?\nWhat makes effective  business and marketing tools?\nSelf-taping auditions – some important basic facts?\nShe will offer concrete examples\, from her own casting studio\, of actors who ‘walked into the role’\, and how they did it.\nShe will also talk about coaching both LA and NW lead actors on film and TV sets.\n\nFrom coaching to casting; on stage or screen\, Ms. Imoru has become the region’s one-stop regional ‘actor-expert’. She has spent over a decade in the NW first teaching\, then directing\, coaching and casting some of the region’s finest actors.  An actor herself\, Ms. Imoru’s reach is always global; her passion for the actor\, unstoppable and her unique understanding of the actor-in-process\, unparalleled. \nIn a recent WoW (Words of Wisdom or just some simple words of advice from a casting director) …..Ms Imoru says: \n\n“I didn’t  need Z Nation to prove  that I could cast a network tv show with 90% regional actors\, I already knew that. I just needed a project  to show the rest of the world\, what it would look like when I did!  Currently it looks like  the best selling original series on SyFy.” \n\nWe hope you will join us for this one-of-a-kind event for actors in the NW. \nIf there is not a ticket-buying option at the bottom of this page\, you may purchase a ticket at the door. Cash or check (to Mighty Tripod) only.
