Casting Director Lana Veenker to Teach Bend Actors How to Go Pro

Location casting director of films such as Twilight, Management, Untraceable and Feast of Love brings her successful business-of-acting workshop to Bend November 13.

Casting Director Lana Veenker will teach at Volcanic Theatre Pub. Veenker is the owner of Cast Iron Studios, one of the most successful location casting companies in North America and, over the past decade, has built a career helping actors outside Hollywood break into the business.

She offers Go Pro and Auditioning for TV & Film in regional markets across the country to help actors learn what they need to do to make themselves attractive commodities in their hometowns and beyond.

“I’m passionate about showing Hollywood that regional actors have got the goods. But sometimes actors blow their chances, because they don’t understand that it takes more than talent to book a job,” says Veenker. “It takes developing the mindset and focus of a pro. It means upping your game, wherever you are in your career.”

Go Pro, a lecture-style workshop, and Auditioning for TV & Film, where actors will get on their feet, will take place on Tuesday, November 13 at Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Drive, Bend, 6-10 pm.

The cost is $200 (or $189 with promo code “SUPERSAVER”).
