Natalie Wall - Nikki Barrett Casting
A rare opportunity to get your work directly in front of one of the country’s most sought-after casting directors, without leaving the Northern Rivers.
Natalie Wall casts for film and television, independently and in regular collaboration with Barrett Casting. Her credits include Black Snow, One More Shot, Bay of Fires and The Sapphires, and through Barrett Casting she has contributed to more than forty Australian and international productions including Elvis, Mad Max: Fury Road and The Babadook. She was nominated for Best Casting in a Feature Film at the 2026 AACTA Awards and is a member of the Casting Guild of Australia.
Natalie is flying up from Sydney for this one day only.
What can you expect?
The day opens with an honest conversation about how casting decisions are really made — what Natalie is looking for, what lands in the room, and what she’s watching for before you’ve said a word. From there, each actor gets up and shoots their scene on camera, with direct feedback from Natalie. As she works, actors are often asked to make an adjustment and put the scene down again on the spot — which is where the real shift tends to happen.
Every actor receives their final self-tape take from the masterclass, sent through afterwards. For actors with training or on-set experience. Actors aged 15 and over are welcome to apply. Scenes are issued in advance and are expected to be off-book.
