Seminar Video: Gil Junger with Spotlight
In this Q&A-driven training, Gil Junger answers the most common Spotlight audition questions and demonstrates how to stand out by being you. He breaks the habit of checklist prep (character bios, line readings, “play it angry”) and replaces it with a simple, liberating approach: memorize the lines, cross off punctuation and parentheticals, and let your natural impulses lead. Through volunteer reads and on-the-spot adjustments, you’ll learn practical tweaks that make self-tapes feel alive, catch casting directors’ attention, and build genuine on-camera confidence.

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.
