Coaching for adult actors →What casting in Ottawa looks like
Ottawa has a compact but active creative community centred on the national cultural institutions. Most Ottawa-based actors audition for Toronto productions via self-tape alongside local Ontario work.
Coaching for young Ottawa actors
We coach performers aged 7 to 17 in one-to-one sessions. A parent or guardian is always in the building, and in the room or an adjacent room depending on the child's age and preference. Session material is agreed with the parent in advance.
All coaches working with Ottawa minors hold a current Vulnerable Sector Check, issued by the Ottawa Police Service. Documentation is sighted by us before the first session with a minor, and by you on request.
Coaching for Ottawa-based adult actors
For adult actors at every stage: pre-representation, signed but underworked, mid-career, and working actors preparing for specific high-stakes auditions. If you have a callback next Friday, we work the callback. If you are preparing a self-tape in 24 hours, we work the self-tape.
Material reflects the casting pipeline in Ottawa. Accent work is available when the role demands it.
