What We Will Cover:

"Grounded reads" have become one of the most requested styles in animation—but what does that actually mean?

Adam Weisman has spent years helping cast some of animation's most beloved and acclaimed series. In this intimate workshop, he'll break down what today's casting teams are listening for, how grounded performances differ from traditional animation reads, and how actors can bring greater authenticity, specificity, and emotional connection to their work.

Through live coaching and performance adjustments, Adam will share what has worked for him, what consistently stands out in auditions, and practical tools actors can apply immediately to elevate their performances.

Be ready to learn a lot, take risks, and most importantly, have fun!
