This is your chance to learn from an experienced casting director about the world of commercial auditions and the importance of improvisation. This 3-day class is for teen actors who are interested in working in the highly lucrative commercial world. Most commercials these days require that an actor can improv within that commercial, and we will work on taking a script and learning how to make it your own.
