Webinar weekend with casting director/ coach/ actor Chad Darnell. September 20-21, 2025 and September 27-28, 2025

06/09/2025

So... Did a Facebook Live yesterday and woke up to several Savannah people asking for a Zoom Webinar Workshop on different dates (other than Sept 20-21) due to participation in the 48 Hour Film Project.

I'm going to keep that weekend for everyone who has already signed up - but IF I were to do additional dates, would you rather them be during the week (at night) or the weekend of Sept 27-28? (Note, Saturday would have to be morning, because I'm on a panel that afternoon.)

Let me know and I will post new dates tomorrow. And still space avail for anyone who wants the Sept 20-21 weekend as scheduled. (Link in comments)

Updates on Savannah castings and Workshop on Sept 20-21 over Zoom!

27/08/2025

Hello, People of the Page!

I've had several people ask for Zoom class, because they live out of state, and I'm going to off webinars on Sept 20-21, 2025.

As you probably follow this page for my background casting, you know I'm very passionate about raising up our local BG when they want pursue a career in acting, beyond working as an extra. I got my start as a background artist and this past weekend, I had the world premiere of my next film EXIT INTERVIEWS.

The weekend will be broken up into two sets of classes, so pick one or the other or both.

On Saturday, we will go over the basics of "how to be a working actor in 2025." We'll go over headshots, resumes, classes, training, training, and training... Agents, unions, the casting platforms you need to be on to be an actor and much more.

That workshop is $30 for 3 hours. Two different times to choose.

On Sunday, we'll do an actors workout that is all scene study. Participants will do a self-tape for evaluation (in advance of class) for constructive critique and then perform a scene with redirects.

That workshop is $65 for 4 hours. Two different times to choose.

Or do both classes for $60.

Space will be limited on Sunday.

If you're interested, please check out the site below!
