Masterclass Details and Booking Options

This session offers the opportunity to work together and talk about audition preparation. You will learn how to take direction in an audition; discuss how to enhance your performance including appropriate look/dress and tackle any concerns about learning lines or making mistakes. We will also explore the key elements that make up a successful self-tape. Areas to think about will include your environment, where to focus your eye-line; framing: lighting/background; dress/look.

Please note, if you have already emailed Bonny’s account to register your interest that is fine – we will receive these emails as members of the team are still monitoring her inbox.

Jack Ryder’s Biography  

I began acting at the age of 16 and have worked full time in this industry for over 20 years. As a self taught actor I have learned everything I know from the jobs I have had and built a repertoire of techniques and skills that I have carried with me into my directing work. For the last 15 years I have been directing for theatre and screen alongside my acting career which has furthered my insight and understanding of the many aspects to this type of work.
