The New York Drama Alumni Clan is thrilled to offer you an exclusive invitation to the Carnegie Network Night.  Open only to Carnegie Mellon University, this casting workshop will give you the chance to meet, audition, and get one-on-one advice from New York's top casting directors.

 

Actors / MT's:
You'll be given the opportunity to have a Q&A session - find out things like what to look for in a headshot, and what the new 'not-to-dos' are.  Then, you'll audition for all four casting directors one-on-one.  Submit your headshot / resume and re-introduce yourself to the people between you and your next job.  Finally get feedback on how to improve your changes next time you're in the room with them.

Cost: $75 for NYDAC members ($100 for non-members; NYDAC membership included)

Directors / Playwrights:
You'll be given the opportunity to sit on the other side of the table - find out what casting directors are looking for, and improve your casting skills!

Cost: $15 for NYDAC members ($40 for non-members; NYDAC membership included)
