FIVE DAYS + TWO INSTRUCTORS + ONE CASTING DIRECTOR = BIZ STUDIO SUMMER INTENSIVES

These small-group (max 6 students) classes are for young folks who are serious about learning to audition and work on set. Students can expect to work on progressively challenging Film & TV scenes in a variety of styles. Although many working actors take our classes, no experience is needed to join, only a willingness to learn, practice and play.

Intensives are a fantastic way for students to internalize new skills by doing a deep dive, getting notes, and coming right back and doing it again the next day. Over the five days students will work intensively on audition and acting skills, exploring practice scripts from real auditions and working towards a deeper understanding of story, character, and hopefully themselves. All of the acting work is recorded on-camera, including multiple “mock auditions”, and the week will culminate in a “mock callback” and workshop with casting director Candice Elzinga, one of Vancouver’s busiest and most experienced casting directors. See her IMDB page for a full list of her more than 300 casting credits on features and tv series.

In all Biz Studio classes, instructors choose scenes individually for each student, and students have the opportunity to give input on the kind of material they want to work on. It’s important to us to run very small classes, so we can support (and challenge) each student appropriately.

BIZ STUDIO has a twenty-year track record of helping students make their dream of working professionally in film and television a reality.

“We always know when a Biz student walks in the room; they just know what they’re doing.” -Kris Woznesensky, Casting Director, Vancouver

“We received some big news: Lia booked a supporting lead in the upcoming Jason Reitman movie Tully. She will be playing the eldest of three children of Charlize Theron. We are in shock about this: so much has happened since her first acting class just two years ago! Thanks for all your support!” -Fia Voutsilakos, Mom, Vancouver

“I’m a talent agent and saw that our clients had great success with their training with you… so of course I chose your classes for my daughter!” -Amanda Rozak, Talent Agent, Lizbell Agency
