the camera ready experience
Our events are unique to each location. They are specifically designed to give actors real onset experience and when the cameras stop rolling the fun begins with our social events.
Events for passionate actors focused on a career in TV and Film
As we return to Los Angeles this year our actors will be cast in and film a short film as part of their course. The classes with industry professionals all will all be geared towards the shooting of the film.
They will take classes with casting directors, accent coaching, a stunt class with a film stunt choreographer, an agent session and a PR session in how to market yourself when you have projects releasing and how to create a buzz around you as an actor. There are also wellness sessions.
There will be a full crew onset and the actors will also work as assistant crew to get a feel for every part of film making. The voiceover classes and audio studio sessions are geared towards character voices and ADR. And as always an amazing photoshoot with Elsie Rose Photography.
It is an action packed course not to be missed as it also includes halloween antics and a red carpet wrap party celebrating 15 years of Camera Ready Events.

This will be our first Camera Ready Events course in Dubai, UAE. It follows on from our hugely successful Pantomime in 2021 at The Theatre of Arts, Mall of the Emirates.
It is purely based around television and film and we will be accompanied by our full film crew. The actors take onscreen acting classes, VoiceOver and animation classes, Accent coaching, Casting Director sessions, have a headshot shoot and after all that shoot a short film which will give them the onset experience, confidence and knowledge to take their acting to the next level in castings worldwide. They will be involved in every aspect of filming including camera work, sound, lighting, set design and costume and more.
After the huge success of our first European event based in Sotogrande, Costa Del Sol, we return in 2025. Whilst we bask in the sun we will be making a short film set in the beautiful scenery that this area boasts.
We will start with on screen acting classes leading to casting the roles before setting out to the location and creating our set. All aspects of filming will be covered as we work as a team to bring our film to life. There will be a shoot for every actor with the amazing Elsie Rose Photography, VoiceOver and accent training and lots of other sessions to give our actors the full onset experience.
It is a fun week that also bonds actors and where they make friends for life not to mention contacts which are the foundation on which this industry is built.

Over the three day course you will learn all aspects of the filmmaking process from casting, directing, camera angles, lighting and sound to how to achieve the best look for filming to capture and tell the story through images with the end result being your short film.
We will show you how to make it look and sound fabulous on a small budget and you will be involved in doing it all for a hands on experience. These skills are invaluable for those in the business of acting.

We will get back to you with all of the details for the event or workshop. Some courses require an audition tape, which we would request at that time. Once we have everything back, a deposit is due and then you booked onto the course.
It's the day of the event! We can't wait to have a lot of fun and learn many new techniques and tips. New friends are always made and memories for a lifetime!
-Nuala Childs
A great opportunity to develop your acting skills and technique. It is always a fun experience. As well developing your acting skills, there are opportunities to learn what it is like to work behind the scenes and how movies and TV shows are made. Learning all aspects of the film making process, including camera angles, lighting, sound, location set up and directing. A true recommendation to anyone who loves to act and wants to gain experience and learn from professionals in a truly inspiring environment. I have gained invaluable knowledge and confidence as well as friends! The team are incredible, very supportive, enthusiastic and they truly love what they do. I cannot recommend this enough.
Sarah Elmsley - Frank's mum
Good morning,
I just wanted to write to say thank you so much for an amazing 3 day experience for Frank. We know how much hard work and preparation went into the 3 day Camera Ready Event.
Frank absolutely loved the three days and every day he came out on a high. He has learnt so much which will be invaluable for his acting journey going forward.
It was also lovely for him to meet Carol after virtual classes etc.
We also enjoyed visiting Liverpool which was a bonus for us.
-Seren Basu
I joined the 3 day workshop in Liverpool this summer but was completely new to Camera Ready Events. I was so nervous walking through the doors for the first time and knowing no one, but Carol and the team could not have been more supportive, smiley and welcoming.
Being a part of the cast and crew to make a short movie was so exciting. The whole experience was really special, and honestly I feel it’s super charged my confidence and passion to carry on with what I love to do, knowing I am enough. Thank you, Seren
-Charlotte - Symphony's mum
Working with Camera Ready has been an incredible experience! Carol,
Lauren, and the entire team bring such professionalism, creativity,
and passion to every project. They made the process seamless and
enjoyable from start to finish. I’m beyond excited to see the final
film, and I can’t recommend Camera Ready highly enough!
- Rebecca Taylor, Bea's mum
Hey Carol,
I just wanted to drop a quick message just to say thank you. I'm sure many have said this before, but not only is the acting coaching you provide for Bea so wonderful but the support and positive energy, the words of advice, praise and understanding you give to Bea as a young girl is truly remarkable. You praise the person she is and acknowledge the troubles and difficulties she may be facing with such empathy, encouragement and positivity, that she always leaves your lessons with a positive outlook, no matter what kind of day she has had up to that point. So thank you. x
-Deb Talent - Los Angeles
Carol we love you! Thank you so much for all you do seriously. I can see improvements already. I wish I took all of my clients to you sooner. But with your help we will succeed.
Go team!

-Kelly Stewart - Hollyoaks / Denis & Gnasher Unleashed (Emmy Nominated)
Carol has coached me for many years from my time working as a series regular on Hollyoaks to creating characters and helping me find my feet in the animation world on our Emmy nominated CBBC show. My career wouldn’t be where it is today without her passionate guidance. I can’t recommend her enough.
-Oliver Bell - Salem / West World / The Magicians / Once Upon a Time
What I love about Carol is that she prepares you for an audition or when you are onset in a way that gives you so much confidence. Onset she is calm and funny and whispers little tips to you. She makes acting fun and helps you see who the characters are and how they fit into the scenes which helps give the director what they want on screen.
Andrea Basu - Seren's mum
Dear Carol & Lauren,
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to yourselves, Liz & Dickie for giving Seren such a brilliant experience and learning opportunity this weekend.
The care and attention you gave to all the young people was so visible and genuine, which as a parent means a great deal.
