Oklahoma Casting Director and professional actor Chris Freihofer will offer a limited 2-Day workshop entitled “Audition for Film & Television” on Saturday and Sunday, May 17-18 in Dallas, TX.
There are only 12 spots available in the class.
The workshop is designed for both the beginner and advanced actor to receive professional training and critique in their audition technique for film and television. It is led by a professional that currently works on both sides of the camera.
“Becoming a casting director has greatly improved my audition technique as an actor,” said Freihofer. “Actors make common mistakes in the audition room; mistakes I often made. Watching those mistakes and learning from them, and then watching what the actors do that nail the audition, and consulting with the directors afterward, has informed how I now approach auditions as an actor. It has certainly changed how I teach auditioning as well.”
For ten years Freihofer has appeared in both feature film and network television. In 2004 he launched Freihofer Casting and quickly became the leading casting director in Oklahoma, casting such films as last summer’s SPLINTER, the recent Montreal Film Festival hit THE GRAY MAN (formerly titled WISTERIA: THE STORY OF ALBERT FISH) and the 2007 Sundance Film Festival selection FOUR SHEETS TO THE WIND, among others, assisting in the casting of the films RETURN TO SENDER, last summer’s IVORY, the Paramount Pictures release ELIZABETHTOWN, the pilot for the TNT hit series SAVING GRACE, as well as dozens and dozens of commercials for such clients as The Oklahoma Lottery, Toyota and Blue Cross & Blue Shield. His complete casting credits can be found on www.FreihoferCasting.com.
As an actor, he has appeared on the television series “PRISON BREAK”, "WILDFIRE" and "WALKER. TEXAS RANGER" , the Lifetime series INSPECTOR MOM, feature films including CONVICTED, SAVAGES, EYE OF GOD and O, and the TV movies THE YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS and RUFFIAN, among others. He will soon appear in the film EX-TERMINATORS with Heather Graham, Jennifer Coolidge and Joey Lauren Adams. He has been an active member of the Screen Actors Guild since 1999.
He has taught acting and auditioning for over 10 years.
Class participants will be emailed audition material to prepare during the week prior to class. These scenes are taken from either current, highly-rated network television shows, or big-budget studio features currently casting, or still awaiting release. The audition material will be accompanied by an assignment involving an area of focus for the audition.
Participants will be videotaped and evaluated during class time, with constructive criticism given to improve the actor’s technique.
Each participant will be provided a VHS tape of their class work, including his or her on-camera instruction and critique. They have the opportunity to review their work and critique in the privacy of their homes.
The class is open to beginning or advanced actors aged 16 and up. Those under 16 must meet eligibility requirements. The class is limited to 12 participants.
"The weekend is fun, yes. We keep it positive and upbeat. But make no mistake, I take very seriously the cost and time commitment, and I challenge those wanting to take auditioning to the next level. This is geared for either the professional, or the amateur wishing to ‘turn pro’, and I spend a lot of class time fortifying the actor with what it takes before and during the audition. I encourage the actor to push their envelope, but I make sure the class is a positive experience. It is a safe-haven for the actor to grow and to experiment," he said.
This is not a job interview or audition. The presence of a casting director is neither a guarantee nor a promise of employment. The intent of the class is solely educational.
