VIRTUAL WORKSHOP • MAY 2nd, 2026
🎬 Online Scene Study Workshop with Legendary LA Casting Director Judy Bouley
SCENE STUDY INTENSIVE
Saturday, May 2 • Two Live Zoom Sessions
Born in the United States and raised in Japan, Judy Bouley’s global perspective on storytelling, language, and human behavior has shaped a remarkable career as an international casting director.
Her work has taken her across the world collaborating with some of the most respected filmmakers in the industry, including:
Peter Weir • Sam Mendes • Alan Parker • Robert Zemeckis
Along the way she has worked with some of the most celebrated actors of our time:
Tom Hanks • Meryl Streep • Sir Anthony Hopkins • Julia Roberts • Colin Farrell • Leonardo DiCaprio
…and yes — even SpongeBob SquarePants.
Judy’s casting assignments have taken her around the globe — from Mexico, Morocco, Bulgaria, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Puerto Rico to Buenos Aires and throughout the United States.
Her gift for connecting with actors and understanding human behavior allows her to build creative “families” wherever she works.
This is not a lecture.
This is a working class.
Actors will work directly with Judy and a reader in real time.
🔍 What Makes This Workshop Different
This is a scene study intensive focused on ownership, emotional depth, and character truth.
Before the workshop, each actor will complete a 10-question character background breakdown designed to:
• Clarify backstory
• Define relationships
• Identify emotional stakes
• Establish personal history
• Ground the character in specificity
You will come in prepared — not guessing.
During the workshop, Judy will:
• Work one-on-one with each actor on their prepared scene
• Challenge and refine your character choices
• Push you toward authentic, specific storytelling
• Help you personalize the material so it becomes your own
The goal isn’t simply to “perform well.”
The goal is to make the work truthful, specific, and undeniable.

• Guide actors through scene adjustments in real time
• Strengthen character development and emotional connection
