About Us

This is the workshop you've been waiting for.

Act With Spencer workshops have two different all day opportunities:

The On-Camera Audition Technique workshop

The On-Camera Audition Technique workshop is a three hour workshop for 10-12 students. Participants select or are assigned copy (TV, Film or Commercial scripts) several days prior to the workshop.

At the beginning of the workshop students are immersed into the audition experience being recorded on-camera as though they were in a real audition. Then we do a review of all the auditions with opportunities to learn from what everyone has done.

After reviewing, we repeat the audition with the same material to have the opportunity to apply what was learned from the reviewing process. We finish the workshop with a final review of their work. Students are provided all of their footage from the class a day or two after the workshop.

This is typically divided into two separate workshops, one in the morning and another in the afternoon to accommodate 20-24 students.

In addition to the scripts, lighting, camera and microphone are provided by Spencer.

The Career in Acting lecture

The Career in Acting lecture is a two hour experience followed by scheduled individual meetings with students for a more one-on-one experience.

The lecture is typically in the morning and three parts:

1) Sharing my background and journey.

2) Diving into the essential information for beginning or continuing a career as an actor. This involves discussing:

– “The Multitudes of Performance Opportunities”

– “The Importance of Being You versus a Character”

– “Flexible versus Inflexible Employment”

– “How to be Our Own Entertainment Team”

– “How to Find Representation”

– “How to Find the Right Support for You”

– And many other topics

3) A question and answer with all in attendance.

The rest of the day is set aside to meet with students in “Office Hours” to provide them with individual guidance for their own specific needs. A space to provide such meetings will be required as well as assistance.

Those wishing to meet will be provided an online sign up form to select a specific time. Meeting with more than one person is also allowed.
