BEGINNERS SCREEN ACTING WORKSHOPS AUCKLAND - JULY 2024 - with Liz Mullane and Rachel Bullock
There are a few spaces left in the BEGINNER SCREEN ACTING workshops in Auckland in July.
Invest in your acting dream by meeting people that can actually influence directors. This course gives you in-depth knowledge of the process of auditioning and acting for screen, as well as self taping since so many casting directors these days seem to fall back on making the actors do all the work - knowledge is power!

In 2022, two of BGT's talent met and fell in love on the set of Choose Love, the Netflix interactive romcom. Yesterday they celebrated the birth of their baby girl and we can’t congratulate them enough.
Sign up today, you never know what might happen!
So proud of our two little actors Connor & Lachlan.
“When you’re an actor, you go through this fake stuff, but it feels quite real while you’re doing it, but I get to put it down, go home and give my kids a hug. I know that other parents who’ve been through this for real are not so lucky.”
Shortland Street actor Sam Bunkall tells how the filming of one of his toughest scenes yet made him reflect on his gratitude for being a father. Read about his horrifying beach scene in our latest issue, out now.
AUCKLAND Commerical Audition Technique Classes
I’m opening up some more dates for my Television Commercial Audition Technique classes this year.
I did them last year, and so many actors I’ve seen since, have stories of shortlists and booking jobs. So, something’s working.
I’ve taught this very class at Unitec and South Seas.
Dates atm are:
Saturday 15th June 2PM - ONLINE
Sunday 16th June 10AM - In Studio
Sunday 16th June 2PM - In Studio
Cost - $60
BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE!
I’m not here to muck around, nor to just take actor’s money. It’s tough enough out there.
This year I’m offering a money back guarantee.
As I say in the booking form: "We stand by these classes so it's important they work for YOU”.
If this class doesn’t make a difference to the way your actor experiences their next audition, I’ll give them their money back.

Congratulations to Poppy and Sebastian Hunter (in BGT's Actor Division). Very proud.
Linda Niccol’s Poppy has won the Cannes Ecrans Seniors competition at an annual competitive film screening organised by the city and the Cannes Seniors Club, during the Cannes Film Festival ✨
Announced in le film français, the films were selected by Bernard Bories, president of Cinéma des Antipodes which screens New Zealand and Australian films in an annual showcase at St Tropez.
Poppy received a trophy from a jury of cinephiles headed by French director Emmanuelle Dubergey.
Poppy is the story of a young woman with Down syndrome who refuses to be defined by disability and determines to pursue her dream to be a motor mechanic. The jury noted the moving, fresh and dynamic story and its luminescent and powerful lead actress.
So very proud of Elizabeth Hanaray who is in BGT's Actor Division, for her cast performance in My Life Is Murder.
Happy Birthday, dear Angel, let's give a shout,
To the girl with a humour that stands right out.
An actor agent with a clever, sharp twist,
Whose jokes make us laugh and can’t be missed.
You manage the stars with a knowing smile,
Your wit and your charm go the extra mile.
"Break a leg," you say with a cheeky flair,
And they always know you've got their welfare.
Your humour's a blend of smart and sly,
With a twist of irony that’s always wry.
You could turn a mishap into a funny tale,
With punchlines that never, ever fail.
In the world of auditions and casting calls,
You navigate through it with jokes and balls.
"An audition in the park? Or perhaps a zoo?"
No situation too tricky for you to breeze through.
You sip your coffee with a knowing grin,
While plotting careers that are sure to win.
"Happy endings are fine, but add a twist,"
You say with a wink, shaking up the list.
But today, dear Angel, it’s your special day,
So we'll celebrate you in the best kind of way.
With laughter and joy, and a cake so grand,
Surrounded by friends and colleagues who all understand.
