Wednesdays, 3:30-5pm ET

Working on commercials and industrials can be a good way to make extra income between theatrical bookings, and in smaller markets there is no shortage of safety training, sales training, e-learning courses, or corporate promotional videos.

Actors in smaller markets can even land national commercials. But there are some differences in auditioning for a commercial and industrial vs a theatrical project and we want to help you master those differences. This will help you go into your audition confidently and book it.

Each week students will receive a short script and they will have time to break it down and then perform it. Following their performance Jessica will give feedback and guidance to help each student perfect their audition technique.

Students will learn:

-        The difference between commercial & industrial

-        How to handle both speaking and non-speaking roles

-        What to expect from auditions to book the role

-        How to cold read 

-        How to handle last minute changes and redirects

-        When and how to use improv or add a button.

-        Self-tape auditions vs in person auditions
