Acting And Auditioning Workshop With Sara Jordan

March 3 @ 7:45 pm 10:00 pm

Session led by Sara Jordan

Sara Jordan is running a practical, hands on acting and auditioning workshop for anyone who wants to feel more confident in auditions, and more grounded in their acting choices.

This is not a sit back and listen kind of evening. Expect plenty of exercises, short explorations, and supportive feedback as you work on what casting people and directors actually respond to, believable character, clear choices, and an actor who feels present rather than “performed”.

What We’ll Explore

Finding character and authenticity

Screen acting workshop

You’ll work through simple, repeatable exercises that help you build a character with truth at the centre, not just a collection of mannerisms. The aim is to feel connected to what the character wants, what they fear, what they’re protecting, and then let that inner world shape everything else.

Building a character from the ground up

Sara will guide you through how movement and voice naturally grow out of character, rather than being added on top. You’ll explore posture, pace, gesture, rhythm, breath, and vocal tone, and how small physical choices can make a character feel specific without becoming forced or “put on”.

Understanding your casting type

This bit is often surprisingly useful. You’ll look at the kinds of roles you’re most realistically likely to be cast in right now, and how to lean into that strategically, without boxing yourself in forever. It’s about knowing where you fit in the casting landscape so you can show up with clearer choices and less second guessing.

How auditions really work

We’ll cover what directors tend to look for, what helps you stand out in a good way, and what quietly undermines an audition even when the acting is solid. You’ll also focus on how to present yourself well in the room, how to take direction, and how to keep your nerves from hijacking your performance.

Who It’s For

This workshop is suitable for beginners who want a practical starting point, and for more experienced actors who want to sharpen their audition technique and make their character choices feel more grounded and intentional.

If you’ve ever left an audition thinking “I could do it, but I didn’t show it”, this evening is basically for you.
