ACTING COACHINGS (BOOKING BY ARRANGEMENT)

Role Work for Shoots and Castings in Person or via Skype

Understanding the character in a sensory way, recognizing his or her emotional core, gives actors freedom and flexibility on the set or at castings. Since I don’t know a faster method to get into a character, a coaching session in most cases includes role development with SourceTuning and based on it a structural view on scenes and content.

After the introduction to SourceTuning in the mini-workshop „Boost Your Character“, you can also use the tool for role-finding during a coaching session.

The prices include an informative fly-over of the script or casting documents towards the role. If the script is to be read and evaluated in its entirety, a flat rate of 70€ will be added. This is already included in the price of an intensive dramaturgical preparation.

Casting preparation / Shooting preparation 60 minutes

Cost

Jens Roth: 110,- € incl. 19% VAT.
Teamcoaches: 100,- € incl. 19 % VAT.
Preparatory script reading (90-minute): 70,- € incl. 19% VAT (only applies to medium to large roles).

Low budget rate 60 minutes = 20,- € incl. 19% VAT.

The 20,- € rate is equivalent to an expense allowance. Ask us about this rate and send us your script. If a coach from the team finds it worthy of support from an artistic or social point of view, this rate can be considered.
Productions that would like to work on the roles together with ensembles and/or directors can negotiate daily flat rates with me.

For production companies, these prices apply, plus VAT.

The Big Arch – dramaturgical preparation in detail

Based on our common understanding of the technique, in this version of the coaching I go deep into the material and illuminate it in detail from the perspective of the role, which I have come to understand in its complexity and your approach through SourceTuning.

Going into detail with the preparation can have significant advantages for the actor.Shooting on the set is a lonely business in the preparation phase.Later on set, the expectations of production and directing departments are high and the support given by stressed-out directors is often lacking. Turning up on the set with a multifaceted and flexible offer, preceded by a view from outside, relaxes the actor and is much more enjoyable.

Actors who are very busy, for example shooting two films at the same time, receive additional inspiration and we will work on the script in such a way that you can quickly orientate on the set at any time and follow the factual and emotional state of your role.

Weaknesses in the script can be identified in advance and either compensated by ways of playing or discussed with the director and production in good time to enable changes in text.

This type of preparation may involve several days. In this case, the rate will not be calculated on an hourly bases, but with a full- or half-day fee.

Cost

1 day/ 8 hrs. 700,- € incl. 19% VAT.

1 hr. 110,- € incl. 19% VAT.

For production companies: 850,- € excl. VAT.

(E-)Casting - preparation and filming

E-castings can be prepared together and recorded directly in the studio. In this case, an appropriate data carrier for exporting the data is necessary. Depending on the scope, the coaching including shooting can last between 2 and 4 hours.
