Actress and iFilmGroup Acting Training Program Participant
Jamie Roberts
My experience with the iFilmGroup Acting Training Program in London, Ontario, and learning to become a more confident and informed actress has been a valuable experience for me. Developing my acting skills, being on set, understanding the craft of acting, and gaining a better appreciation of what it takes to pursue opportunities in the film industry has been life-changing.
The iFilmGroup program takes anyone interested in acting, whether you are a beginner, who is brand new to the industry, right up to professionals looking to further their acting training. A great focus of the program is on beginner acting development and intermediate acting talent looking to broaden their skills. The program really connects training with practical film experience through the creation and building of the training segments with average acting individuals. I have had a number of opportunities to be part of various productions in the industry. But acting in the training segments and then seeing yourself on screen as the narrator talks about various aspects of the industry was really cool.
What I really enjoyed is how iFilmGroup training goes beyond simply learning lines or performing on camera. It introduces acting individuals to different elements of the profession, including character development, understanding objectives and obstacles, emotional expression, auditions preparation, acting development, self-taping and the importance of presenting myself professionally. Exploring how to ensure you have the proper casting submission package was a very informative aspect of training that has changed how I will be submitting to casting calls and auditions in the future.
The program also provides insight into the filmmaking process and helps acting individuals better understand what happens behind the camera, what casting professionals are looking for. and how preparation, communication, reliability and commitment contribute to becoming a stronger, more professional and castable actress. The iFilmGroup is truly an amazing training and mentoring organization. Being part of their training program has changed my confidence and my approach to acting in so many ways. I feel like I can be more prepared for auditions and have a better insight into set etiquette and working on a film set.
One of the things I particularly appreciated was that the training went beyond acting techniques, character development, and audition preparation. iFilmGroup also addressed something I believe every actor/actress should understand: personal safety and professionalism in the acting industry. The segments dealing with audition safety, casting call red flags, recognizing potentially misleading casting opportunities, understanding professional boundaries, and knowing what questions to ask before attending an audition were especially important. As an actress, I think it is important to understand not only how to become a better performer but also how to protect myself, recognize warning signs, and make informed decisions when pursuing acting opportunities.
I learned that not every casting call or audition opportunity is legitimate. Learning to avoid “pay-to-play” situations as well as knowing the signs that could set off warning signs that could indicate a potentially unsafe situation was a very valuable concepts to learn. Knowing how to recognize red flags can be just as important as preparing for the audition itself.
The iFilmGroup recognizes that becoming a castable actress involves more than learning how to perform. It also means understanding the business, developing confidence, and knowing how to navigate the industry responsibly.
I feel more confident in pursuing acting opportunities and that I will be more prepared, communicate with casting more efficiently and act more professionally during the casting process. All because of what I have been taught with the entire process, because I now have a better understanding of what to expect, what questions to ask, and how to recognize a professional and safe audition environment.
For anyone interested in getting started in acting, improving your abilities, or gaining a better understanding of the entertainment industry, I wholeheartedly believe iFilmGroup offers one of the best opportunities to learn, grow and develop your confidence.
I’m glad to have been a part of the iFilmGroup Training Module program and would encourage anyone in the London, Ontario area, who is interested in acting to explore what the iFilmGroup program has to offer.
