Sweet Sixteen Showcase Winners / Top 3 Actors

Congratulations to the winners of our Sweet Sixteen Showcase!

To celebrate sixteen years of Fishpond. we recently challenged actors of all ages to create your own versions of coming-of-age movie scripts that focus on themes of childhood and growing up - Matilda, What Richard Did, and Sing Street. All three of these were cast with the help of Fishpond, so we know them well. We absolutely loved watching your work and you certainly made each scene your own.

When it comes to choosing actors for roles, the two questions casting directors will ask are, do I believe you? And, do you make me feel something? Well, we certainly believed and felt for Kate, Tynan and Zebulun in their chosen scenes. Remember that if you can transport an audience into your world, your work is done.

Watch the winning tapes here and read our feedback below.

Kate
What Richard Did
"Beautiful use of your eyes in this scene, Kate. You let us see into your soul, and it's clear that this event has changed you forever. We can feel your sense of guilt and our hearts absolutely break for you - we wanted to reach through the screen and give you a massive hug!"


Tynan
Sing Street
"Tynan, you made us smile throughout this entire scene! Your natural charm and personality shine through and carry us away. You have excellent listening skills and the pacing was really good. Well done."


Zebulun James Vella-Whelan
What Richard Did
"Fantastic storytelling, Zebulun. As you recounted what happened, we were re-living it with you. Your story builds and builds and when you finally admit that you were responsible out loud, there's no going back. We loved it."

Well done to all, we're loving your work and we're always rooting for you. We run Fishpond Showcases bimonthly, so we'll see you very soon for our next one.
