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.

"Cody really knows the business and utilizes this knowledge to push his clients and students to be BETTER than the best they can be. Cody knows that it is one thing to be a fantastic actor in the Sacramento market, but he goes several steps further to ensure that each of his students can be the best in the LA market as well. I have grown so much as an actor through Cody's coaching that I truly believe that the moment I decide to hit the LA market, I will be ready to tackle any challenge that comes my way."
"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!"
