Workshops
Ms. Paule serves as a guest lecturer for drama/film classes at the college and university levels. She can travel for in-person master classes or utilize video conferencing platforms for distance learning.
She also coaches one-on-one for all types of talent and auditions, in addition to guiding those new to the business. To contact for lecturing or coaching, write to info at candiscasting dot com.
If you are an actor looking to hone your on-camera skills, perhaps one of our workshops is right for you. While there are no classes being offered at this time, to receive a notice, place yourself on our mailing list: sandi at actorsforreel dot com.
Please note: Enrollment and participation in a workshop is not, nor will ever be, a guarantee that you will be cast in a Candis Casting project. This is a class designed to educate you and enhance your on-camera auditioning skills.
Talent
Candis Casting works with talent of all ages, races, genders, and ethnicities from throughout the Southwest. To be a part of our database, please send an ~300kb headshot (jpg) along with a resume (pdf) to cctalentsubmission at gmail dot com - links are not accepted. In the body of your email, include your cell phone number and what city you live in. Don't have a resume? Please find an example and create one. Submissions of just a headshot will not be considered as they must also have a resume.
Whether you are a first time talent, or you've been in the business for years, Candis Casting is looking forward to reviewing your materials.
Coaching
If you are beginning your journey in the career of an actor, if your child is interested in the business and you need to learn more, or if you have an important audition and need some coaching/guidance, we can coach you and fill in the gaps. Please know that we will never coach a talent who is auditioning for one of the projects we are casting. We can coach on-stage projects and on-camera projects - with tips and insights that will take your audition to the next level!
When it comes to the business of being an actor, our coaching will help you to understand what agents are looking for, how to market yourself, the best way to find auditions, and headshot and resume insights. Write to us at cctalentsubmission at gmail dot com for more information.
Coaching with Candis helped me in several ways: confirming things I already felt I knew, teaching me things I didn't know and stopping me from doing things I shouldn't do, lol. I'm so glad I finally reached out! Actor
Intimacy
All talent in every project deserves to feel comfortable and protected on a stage or film set. As a consent forward artist, D. Candis Paule has extensive training as an intimacy director (stage) and intimacy coordinator (film). Courses completed range from basic knowledge to specific training in BDSM/Kink.
The role of an Intimacy Professional (IP) is not to suppress but to serve as an additional resource in realizing the director's vision. In essence, the IP facilitates an environment in which actors understand what is expected of them in hyper-exposed scenes and ensures there is informed consent. To connect with Candis and work with her as an intimacy professional, reach out to her at cctalentsubmission at gmail dot com.
D. Candis Paule was very thorough, and a sane and calming influence on a very energy filled and difficult show. I think she basically let everyone in the rehearsal room feel that they could bravely say what they liked or didn't like out loud, and really be a part of making up the moments where there was intimate contact or physical violence involved. Really knows her stuff. Director
Candis had no small task in making sure this show was safe and professional. She went above and beyond by not only making us feel protected, but having a great time with us as well. It cannot be understated how important and necessary ID work is and I think our performance reflected proof of that hard work. Actor
Having a sensitivity director was incredibly impactful. It provided a sense of ease and comfort while working with heavy subject matter. Producer
