“Commercials are actually a short scene that consists of hitting your mark, giving a look, or letting out your personality with only six lines.”
Join us for the amazing opportunity to hear it straight from a Commercial Casting Director, Terry will talk about what exactly she's looking for when it comes to casting commercials! Commercials are still going strong! This is a great way to stay busy during pilot season while TV and Film are gearing up.
Everyone usually gets so wrapped up in theatrical training they forget to perfect their craft for commercials as well!
In this class, Terry will teach you how to incorporate all of your TV/Film Training into auditioning for commercials along with a few new tricks and skills specifically for commercials! With so many commercials auditioning and shooting in the current environment we’re experiencing every actor should have these tools in their back pocket!
To act well in commercials an actor has to be able to let out their personality in a short scene in thirty seconds. Terry’s Commercial Acting technique is based on fundamental acting in a short scene study format.
CLASS DETAILS:
In a fun up-beat environment of acting exercises the class will start out with an Improv for each participant to exercise and stretch the Improv muscle in their brain that is valuable for creativity and thinking fast on their feet.
