Course Overview

The HubStudio is thrilled to welcome Greg Apps from Greg Apps Casting for the very first time in a made-just-for-the-hub four week casting and agency Masterclass.

As a Casting Director of over 90 local and international films, Greg has dealt with agents and managers in London, New York, Los Angelos, Atlanta, Singapore, Paris, Buenos Aires, and every city in both New Zealand and Australia for more than 50 years. He understands the unique relationship between actor, agent and Casting Director.

“Opportunities are being missed by actors because they take their relationship with their agent for granted. It’s a relationship that needs to be nurtured, managed and guided”.

In this 4 week exclusive online course,  Greg will show you how to get your first agent, a better agent or how to get US management.
There is so much you can do as an actor to empower your team. To promote you effectively to the gate keepers of this industry (CD’s). Greg has specifically designed this course for HubStudio to empower actors to work closely with agents.

The Greg Apps Agent Masterclass is a comprehensive four-week online course led by industry veteran Greg Apps, aimed at teaching you every facet of the critical relationship between yourself and your agent.

Do you get auditions with key casting directors? Is your agent respected by key decision makers? But most importantly does your agent regard you as special? Throughout the program, you will engage in weekly live Zoom lessons where you receive personalised guidance. You will self tape scenes weekly and have personal mentoring by Greg.
