Are you finding deep emotional connection in your work? Are you showing up with all cylinders firing? Are you able to create your self-tape, show up in a Zoom audition (any audition!), and walk onto set with ease, confidence, and championship-level skills, fully empowered?
If not… THIS IS YOUR WORKSHOP.
BGB Studio's 1-Day Audition MasterClass is led by Sydney Walsh & Cate Cohen, 2 incredible BGB Master Teachers who combined, have 70 years of extensive, real-world experience as actors, writers, directors, teachers and coaches. This workshop offers you hard-core practice- an approach to the kind of work that separates you from the pack. And champion-level skills that allow you to boldly offer your talent to every audition with confidence, collaboration, and generosity.
In this fully immersive day, we work on-camera to free your auditions & self-tapes, demystifying the process, and empowering your unique voice in your scene prep and your real-time auditions. We reimagine what auditioning is and arm you with the tools you need to step into every audition with the full force of your talent.
No matter where you are in your career, this is a significant moment to embrace being in the best acting (and auditioning) shape of your life! Join Sydney and Cate for a full day intensive that will actually change how you approach your auditions/self-tapes... all your work FOREVER.
This workshop will sell out fast.

You’ll learn to do the kind of work that books work. And it may not be what you think.
You’ll be given the tools to push past nerves and uncertainty and discover a new kind of success. You’ll learn how to work comfortably and confidently on-camera- in your self-tapes and Zoom auditions.
You’ll come back to the power of your individual point of view and expression of your beautiful, specific voice. You’ll come back to the joy, the play, the magic of your artistry.
"I highly recommend taking this class with Sydney. She taught me so many valuable skills that I now use in my auditions. AND THE BEST PART IS, I’VE BEEN BOOKING! Thank you Sydney for being such a generous teacher."
-Kimberly Ziler, THE CANDYMAN
"Cate leads with the permission to play, which has opened up so many exciting things in my work. Cate has this incredible ability to through the bullshit and get to the heart of it all. She is the rare kind of teacher that you almost welcome falling on your face in front of. She champions you and the alchemy of connecting to the world and people in front of you through truth-telling and the celebration of your talent."
- Briggon Snow, SEAL TEAM
"This class was a rejuvenating space, reminding me of our common humanity. Sydney is an exceptional teacher: intuitive, direct, and nurturing. She has a knack for assigning spot-on scenes. I felt very afraid of on-camera auditions before class started, but now I feel equipped to handle any audition that comes my way."
-Jordana Grolnick, HAMILTON
"By no longer looking to others for validation, but rather finding happiness and fun in the work, I have experienced the freedom to create. I now have ownership in knowing where and how I want to really grow. As a result, my work has improved more in class than the past decade of classes; and newfound confidence is now spilling into other areas of my life. I am forever thankful for Cate."
- Blaine Saunders, THE MIDDLE
"Through the practice of what Sydney had taught us in class about how to really bring yourself into the audition, using the space effectively, and connecting with who and where I am, I got the callback from the self-tape and booked it! She creates a great educational space to let yourself be free to explore the life of you that you uniquely bring to every audition."
-Daniel Mills, THE BLONDE EXPERIMENT
"Working with Cate gives you the license to make bold choices in a scene, and the safe environment to play, make mistakes, and figure out what works for you. I felt instantly empowered to experiment and have fun in my work. Additionally, watching my fellow actors grow in her class was almost as beneficial as getting to do the work myself. Cate is strong and kind–everything I want in a teacher."
- Anne Fidler, LAW AND ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT
