4 Week On-Camera Commercial Class with Tisha Ioli, Commercial Casting Director PLUS 3 Commercial Agents of your choice!

Sunday, October 25, 2015, 2pm ET / 11am PT

This event is in the past.

Tisha keeps bringing in LISTS of actors she has brought in for auditions after meeting them at AC, so we are thrilled to bring her back! In this no-nonsense class packed with individual camera time and useful information, she'll specifically focus on how to increase your chances of getting a callback at commercial auditions.

You'll also learn tricks of the trade, common mistakes and how to fix them, what really goes on at a call-back and she'll answer any questions you might have. Have you ever wondered why you're not booking more commercials or even just getting a call-back? What are you doing that is holding back your true potential? Tisha is here to help you find out just that and fix the individual issues that are stopping you from booking more jobs!

With the class, you'll also get three seminar credits to meet three on-camera commercial agents!

One of the nicest ladies in Showbusiness, Tisha's many years of casting and acting experience make her an incredible instructor who is known for calling in lists of actors from her seminars and classes. As a Freelance Casting Director, Tisha casts for numerous high profile NY offices, including Donna Deseta Casting, Kipperman Casting, Strickman-Ripps, and Jennifer Ajemian Casting. She has recently cast commercials for T-Mobile, Radio Shack, Campbells, Panera, and Canon to name a few. Tisha also worked as a casting director at Don Case Casting for over 10 years.
