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've said it before and I'll say it again, thanks Cody for believing in me from the start. Your confidence in me gave me the courage to keep going instead of giving up when things weren't looking too hot. Studio 24 is still my favorite for a place to learn to act and feel creative."
"I had a dream to make a career out of acting and through Studio 24 that dream is being realized. Since signing with Studio 24 in Sacramento I’ve signed with a major agent out of San Francisco, auditioned for Levi’s, Harley Davidson, and Disney, and booked the lead role in a feature film, which I’m currently working on. Without the dedication, professionalism, and reputation that Studio 24 possesses I would have been left with just a dream."
