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.

"This class and the Studio 24 institution is in my opinion, the best acting class I've ever been able to attend. I took a class at an extremely reputable acting company in San Francisco, which was amazing, but coming across Studio 24, it blew that class out of the water. Cody has the ability to pinpoint a performance, tweak it, know his students, and direct them in a way that gives results that dropped my jaw more than a few times."
"I will always recommend Studio 24, especially to new actors. Their staff is polite, professional and accommodating. In no way shape or form do I feel like I am just another number or a pay check to them. They are more than willing to help with any questions I have and I truly feel like they care about my dreams and ambitions. Cody takes his time in class and makes sure that everyone has honest insight on their performance. He is not afraid to let you know what you did right or wrong and this in turn allows actors to continue to grow to their full potential. I have had several compliments on how my acting has improved since I have started taking Studio 24's classes. And if that isn't enough, the products that Studio 24 has produced for me were absolutely amazing. The quality of my headshots and demo reel was clear and I feel more than confident submitting them to casting sites."
