Coaching for adult actors →What casting in Montreal looks like
Montreal is bilingual in its casting pipelines, with French-language domestic production running parallel to English-language features, streaming, and international shoots that use the city as a New York or European stand-in.
Coaching for young Montreal actors
We coach performers aged 7 to 17 in one-to-one sessions. A parent or guardian is always in the building, and in the room or an adjacent room depending on the child's age and preference. Session material is agreed with the parent in advance.
All coaches working with Montreal minors hold a current Police Background Check, issued by the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM). Documentation is sighted by us before the first session with a minor, and by you on request.
Coaching for Montreal-based adult actors
For adult actors at every stage: pre-representation, signed but underworked, mid-career, and working actors preparing for specific high-stakes auditions. If you have a callback next Friday, we work the callback. If you are preparing a self-tape in 24 hours, we work the self-tape.
Material reflects the casting pipeline in Montreal. Accent work is available when the role demands it.
