Los Angeles- based The Australian Film & Television Academy (Tafta) is introducing two new programs later this year, one designed to coach teenage actors, the other involving workshops with top casting directors.
In another innovation, the Academy is opening its La Experience course, which started several years ago to enable Australian actors to display their skills to managers, talent agents and casting directors, to international students from around the globe.
The Teen La Experience will run twice a year, based on the La Experience but condensed to 10 days and aimed at teens aged 12-17 years.
The Casting Director Intensive (Cdi) workshops will enable actors to sharpen their audition and cold reading skills and time management over two days in six individual sessions with six different casting directors, including David Rapaport and Lyndsey Baldasare.

The bad guys never seem to learn that threatening and assaulting Mac only means that he's never going to stop trying to find the truth. With that first look of determination in his eyes I was on board with "The Untouchable" to the very end.
There was never any doubt in my mind that Mac would catch the killers.
The intrigue of this episode came from the way the CSIs had to unravel the clues laid out by Tessa James. Her mental disorder was never quite clear to me - though Jo did mention Ocd - but the puzzle she left behind became a great test of the team's skills.
Mac's connection to Tessa, and his gut feeling that she had been on to something shined through in the flashbacks.
His distinction between following his gut and following his heart was palpable, and reminded me of the way many great fictional detectives worked,...
