Auditioning & Self-Taping keep changing. Here’s how to meet the moment with success!

If you...
•   feel you don't have a strong script analysis technique for auditions...
•   dread getting ready for a self-tape the minute it hits your inbox...
•   are constantly getting in your own way because you're trying to "impress Casting" or "be perfect..."
•   spend way too much time taping...
•   want to know what Casting really thinks about your tapes...
•   feel intimidated going into a Zoom Audition/Callback or an EcoCast Live (no do-overs, no watching it back )...
•   get completely triggered by the overthinking that goes into self-taping in general...

The Online Audition MasterClass, led by Casting Director/BGB founder Risa Bramon Garcia & BGB Master Teacher/Actor Sydney Walsh, is a 6-week intensive practice that ensures you’re ready for whatever any audition throws at you by creating compelling, undeniable Self-Tapes and Zoom auditions.

"Risa loves actors. What a relief to enter a room with a casting director that wants to put you in the best possible place and head space to do your job. She doesn’t want to hear apologies or excuses, she wants to help you get to a place where together you create a moment or series of moments that are fearless, honest, and personal to you. She knows how to maintain that elevated edge the actor needs to step up to, and hopefully jump off of. Risa will not be there to catch them but she will be the most receptive witness of the actors' plunge. And she creates an electric room for those plunges to happen.”

- Mitch Eakins, TURN: WASHINGTON’S SPIES

"Through the practice of what Sydney had taught us in class about how to really bring yourself into the audition, using the space effectively, and connecting with who and where I am, I got the callback from the self-tape and booked it! This is a great educational space to let yourself be free to explore the life of you that you uniquely bring to every audition."

- Daniel Mills, THE BLONDE EXPERIMENT

"My experience with Risa is one of the most profound I have ever had as an actor. She helped me understand the basic principles of being true to a character in terms of finding the crisis. Her insights have changed how I audition, how I tackle this Industry, and not only how I see myself but more importantly how I believe in myself. I am indebted to her for making such a powerful change in my approach to acting.”

- Amy Jennings, A PLACE AMONG THE DEAD

"Sydney meets you where you’re at. From beginner to advanced, everyone is challenged at their level. What I liked most is that she comes from an actor’s point of view. She has a deep love of artists and it shows. This class gave me my power back and helped me push through some self doubt blockages. After taking Sydney’s class, I feel motivated to continue my practice and keep growing as an artist."

- JD Hearn, CAGED FORTUNE

"This was such a great audition class! Having Risa as a teacher is such a gift and I keep coming back. This class really took the mystery and fear I had about self-tapes away and I now feel ready and confident to send one off!"

- Cassidy Brown, GREY'S ANATOMY
