If you’re a motivated actor but you’re either not getting commercial auditions OR you are drowning in auditions but not booking - chances are you’re looking to figure out the puzzle to grab casting’s attention....

You understand the basics of commercial copy (the “smile”, the “talking to a friend,” the basics of figuring out what the commercial is all about. You’re an actor! You might be looking to make the same impact you used to make in the room...but in your self-tapes. You got this, you’re just missing the tools now that most commercial auditions are not in the room and many CDs don’t have the time to answer questions or give adjustments.

With his decades of experience, David has seen it all.

By the end of this Three Week Class,

you will have…

Tools to Interpret All Types of Commercial Scripts
Be they non-verbal, improv-based, a single line or extensive copy.
Tips for making the commercial performance your OWN
Highlight the incredible results. Why does that matter? What does that look like?
Confidence to identify WHEN it’s appropriate to improvise
...and when you should just stick to the copy.
The little things that will make your Self Tape pop
So that you make it to call backs or on to set.
Improvisation tips
to add real life to your tape.

What to Expect!

Week One

Improvisation

In this class, David will go over the basics of commercial improvisation, as well as tools to identify when you can add improvised lines to a read, and when it might not be in your favor.

Week Two

One-Liners

One line commercials can trip up even the most experienced actor.

David will send out one line commercials for students to prepare in advance of class and then give adjustments.

Week 3

The Self-Tape

Framing, the before-and-after moment, slates. All of the same things we have to consider for theatrical self-tapes but ever so slightly different.

David will assign two scripts to each student. Each student will self-tape their assignments for review and adjustments in class.
