Seminar Video: Gil Junger with Hollywood Winners Circle

Guided by Gil Junger (director of 10 Things I Hate About You), this audition-focused session shows actors how to stop “acting” and start being unmistakably themselves on camera. Junger explains why overthinking kills creativity, then gives concrete tools—black out parentheticals and character breakdowns, cross off punctuation, trust your instincts—to bring your truth to the sides. Through live coaching (including “first take vs. second take” exercises), you’ll see how small shifts create immediate, grounded performances—and why your first, most authentic take is often the one to send.
