The Art & Science of Commercial Acting
September 15- October 27, 2010

Wednesdays 2:00 – 5:00PM
Fee: 6 classes/$375 ($300 if taken with scene study)

This six-session workshop provides each student, whether a novice to the business or a seasoned actor, with a set of skills that will take the guesswork out of the commercial audition process. Each class is geared to build the actor’s confidence by turning the audition into a series of simple exercises. You will learn how to initiate a truthful relationship with the camera, how to analyze copy, how to create “a moment before,” how to establish your environment, how to handle the “dreaded interview,” how to tag the spot and so much more.

The class is designed to make sure you do your best work at the audition, not on the subway on your way home!
