COMMERCIAL AUDITION TIP #5
COMMERCIAL ACTING WORKSHOPS WITH JAN AND JON
TAKE AN ON-CAMERA CLASS
Ok, this isn’t exactly an audition tip but we feel there’s an important aspect of the business of acting that sometimes goes overlooked.
We all know that auditioning for commercials can be fun.
But there are some frustrations:
You never get to see yourself on-camera (Unless of course you book the spot).
You seldom get feedback.
Whether you choose our classes or not…
We highly recommend periodically taking an on-camera commercial workshop.
In a guided way, it’s a chance to take a look at what you’re doing. It’s very easy, over time, to unconsciously slide into habits that run counter to booking the job. Habits you are not aware of, until you see the playback.
Also, and we’re happy to say we’ve seen this many times in our classes, you can discover strengths on camera that you didn’t realize you possessed; this holds true for the experienced actor or newcomer to the business.
A once-a-year investment in an on-camera class is invaluable.

What A Deal - Our 4-Week Adult Advanced Audition Workshop
Wednesday, September 9, 2009
It’s the class that gives you a bonus every month for a year. Actors who sign up for our 4-Week Advanced Audition Workshop are also given a year of free events. On the 4th Tuesday evening of every workshop, we invite an Industry Guest to share their expertise for 90 minutes (half of the class time). We have a range of guests – from Improv Teachers, to Agents and Managers, to TV directors – to name a few. All actors who’ve taken the Advanced Workshop are emailed an invitation to these special events. This is an excellent way to get in on free classes and also to network with Industry Experts.
Our guest in September is Mary Lou Belli, an Emmy Award Winning TV director and co-author of the Sitcom Career Book. She will present a 90 minute class that is full of useful tips on how to shape sitcom auditions. It is very practical, extremely useful and also a lot of fun. The date is September 29 at 8 PM at The Young Actors Space,
