This high-energy, fast-paced workshop is specifically designed to transform you into a "bookable" commercial actor by mastering the unique demands of the advertising world. Beyond just reading lines, you’ll dive deep into the technical art of commercial copy, improvisational "beats," and product interaction, all while learning how to hit your marks on a professional multi-camera stage. Because commercials are often the primary engine for an actor’s financial stability and professional debut, we dedicate significant time to the business of the "sell"—from mastering your on-camera slate and identifying your marketable "type" to understanding the lucrative world of residuals and buy-outs. By the end of this course, you’ll understand exactly how your physicality translates on screen and possess a clear, actionable roadmap for navigating the audition process and securing representation in the commercial industry.

"I am pleased to announce that within a month of taking the class, I landed my first paying supporting role in a local film. In fact, that is how I will be spending my weekend, filming! I highly recommend your class to anyone interested in improving their on-camera skills. We are lucky to have you here in Sacramento!"
"Getting started at Studio 24 has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. From the very first inquiry on classes, to getting headshots done, to pep talks over the phone, through email and in person, Cody, Jaime and Kyler have been so incredibly instrumental in this journey in entertainment. The level of kindness, professionalism, knowledge and integrity make Studio 24 one of the elite places to discover and/or develop your craft. The culture and community of talent is wonderful and I can't rant and rave enough about how thankful I am for this experience. I am a firm believer that with the correct support system, any and all of your dreams will come true. Studio 24 continues to be an integral part of my support system. Whether you want to break into the industry, or just want to get comfortable with speaking in front of people, Studio 24 is the place to go. See you on the red carpet!"
