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."
"For anyone looking to get a new demo reel filmed, I highly suggest checking out Studio 24. They definitely know their stuff, and they are especially great for teenage work. Cody has a great team of talented people that are ready to deliver an awesome product...Studio 24 was totally prepared for everything I could have needed!"
