Spotlight at Actor Expo in Scotland

Spotlight will be in Scotland on Saturday June 27th as part of Actor Expo, Edinburgh. We'd love to see you there!

We've got lots going on for our members, including:

Spotlight Seminars

We'll be offering two free seminars for Spotlight members:

GETTING WORK AS A PROFESSIONAL ACTOR

Will Davies and Thom Hammond (Spotlight) 11.30am - 12.30pm and 1.30pm - 2.30pm (identical sessions)

Two Spotlight experts will provide invaluable advice on how actors can improve their chances of finding work. Topics discussed will include photos, CVs and cover letters, showreels, basic networking and how to approach Casting Directors and Agents. Each seminar will last approx. 1 hour and include plenty of opportunity for Q & A. Tickets are available on a first-come, first served basis, with limited places available.

To book a place, please email actorexpo@spotlight.com, specifying which seminar you would like to attend (11.30am or 1.30pm). We will email you to confirm that your place has been booked.

Spotlight Casting Symposium

Spotlight is also sponsoring a Casting Symposium, held by a panel of leading casting directors: Nancy Bishop, Kahleen Crawford, Andy Pryor, Suzanne Smith and Emma Style.

The discussion will focus on how Scottish actors can break into the international scene, and the importance of the internet in casting and actor marketing. The two-hour symposium will include a one-hour Q & A session, with casting directors taking questions from the audience. Tickets are £10 each.

From 2.30 - 6pm, our Spotlight green room will be open to all members. We'll have copies of the Spotlight directories, computers where you can access your Spotlight CV, and Spotlight experts on hand to answer any questions you may have about your membership. So make sure you drop in and say hello!
