Best CD Workshops in L.A.?

I'm visiting Los Angeles in early March for a week or two and want to fit in at least one or two Casting Director Workshops. Any recommendations? What are the best resources for locating workshops and classes? Thanks! Hope everyone who stumbles across this post is having a marvelous day! :)

Amanda Toney

Hey Justen, not sure about CD workshops but you should check out Jack Plotnicks workshops. They were recommended to me by another actor and are supposed to be one of the best workshops in town. http://www.jackplotnick.com Best of luck while you're in LA!

Justen Overlander

Thanks, Shannon! I'll look into Mr. Plotnicks' workshops for sure.

I've taken workshops with Jack before and they're great. They are not CD workshops. They are simply Jack sharing his unique views and tips for auditioning/working. He charges $5 and all proceeds go the the gay/lesbian foundation. He also occasionally offers more in depth cold reading workshops for a small fee, or you can always audit for free.

Justen Overlander

Thanks, Tristen. Did you really mean $5? Or was that a typo?

Tristen MacDonald

Yup. $5 for the workshop/seminar. For the actual class, to work, I think it's $30?

Justen Overlander

Thanks again!

Katie Keenan

Thank you for the great tip and question! I will be in LA starting in March as well :)

Justen Overlander

Good luck, Katie! Is it a permanent trip or a scouting trip?

Katie Keenan

Thanks! I'll be scouting for jobs and a place to live and so I'm looking to make it a permanent trip.
