Description

The Art of Booking Commercials October 9 and October 16 (2 Fridays) Wednesdays - 5:00-10:00pm (5 hours) Instructor: Allysun de Leon Student Limit: 12 Cost: $240 Texas film and television production is expanding, bringing new opportunities for actors, especially in commercial work. But auditioning for commercials requires a different approach than auditioning for film or television. In this class, learn directly from a casting director what makes a commercial audition stand out and the common mistakes that can keep an otherwise strong submission from ever reaching the client. You’ll explore the techniques, expectations, and practical guidelines actors need to create competitive commercial auditions, make stronger choices, and give themselves the best chance of getting seen and booking the job. With more productions looking to Texas for talent, now is a great time to sharpen your commercial audition skills and learn what casting professionals are actually looking for. Payment plans are also available with a $100 non-refundable deposit. If interested in this option, simply contact us at studioforactorshouston@gmail.com to make arrangements.
