Joe Smith been working as a professional actor for nearly 30 years (not constantly – this includes eating and sleeping), having

been especially prolific in commercials. You’ve seen him. He’s sold you stuff. And now you can learn to too!

This class will hone :

your creative approach (like making strong, memorable, interesting choices)

technical considerations (Where is my microphone and do I need to talk into it? Should I be looking right into camera?)

commercial considerations (am I supporting the brand? What’s does it mean if I have a “conflict?”)

It will also give you comprehensive, nuts-and-bolts, on-the-ground knowledge from a guy who’s been doing it for many years,

and who currently teaches teens like yourselves commercial acting (via Zoom) at the Orange County School of the Arts in CA.

You will have plenty of opportunity to put your knowledge to the test with on-camera mock auditions, and by the end, with

the skill set you’ll hone here, you will be in a MUCH better position to seek professionally acting work in commercials.
