Thursday, May 5, 2016, 7pm ET / 4pm PT

Here's your opportunity to work for four weeks with this top NY TV Casting Director from one of NY's top TV offices.

Each week will build on the last and all sessions will be on-camera. The course will start off with sides of your choosing so that Jenny can get a "feel" for who you are and the TV/film roles you connect to. From there, Jenny will focus on prepared sides including both co-star and guest star roles for one hour dramas and procedurals. Jenny will cover everything from headshots to audition attire to keeping a positive outlook in this competitive industry.

"Jenny is so sweet and personable! She gives honest feedback and really gives everyone individual attention. One of my favorite classes!" -Sarah Biehler

"Jenny identified our individual goals at the beginning of the course and kept checking in. Real. Measurable. Results. According to our developmental requests, Jenny was very specific in selecting sides ...both those that let us shine in our strengths and challenged us where we wanted to grow." -Diane Daltner

"Jenny has the rare combination of authenticity and warmth while also being extremely sharp and observant in the room. She just has this ability to see actors, to sense who they are almost immediately, and she really knows how to point an actor in the right direction while still allowing them to grow on their own. With each weeks' class, my confidence and my audition skills improved and soon after our class, I auditioned for a national commercial and BOOKED it! Jenny helped me make my weaknesses my strengths-something I never thought would happen." -Amanda Fogel

"Jenny's attentive and generous with her feedback and time. LOVE the 4-week format." -Andres De Vengoechea

"Jenny's class was by far the best networking class I have taken in the city because it wasn't a networking class. Jenny structures her class to help each individual actor work on their weaknesses in a fun and safe space. She is an amazingly friendly teacher who helps you improve your audition technique and creates an environment designed for you to be able to make choices and try out things you might otherwise be afraid to do in an audition. I could not recommend this class enough!" -Teo Rapp-Olsson

"She is generous with time and information. Jenny spent extra time with the actors. Love the multi-session classes - more time with instructors." -James Caulfield

"Jenny creates a really comfortable, caring space for you to strengthen your audition techniques and learn more about the habits that hold you back as an actor. Other golden nuggets were recommendations of the shows I should be targeting, hand written feedback, and a professional relationship that has continued beyond the class. She's funny, honest, and truly invested in seeing you succeed." -Samantha Galarza

"This was my second session with Jenny - each time I feel she's helping me hone my audition technique for the television primetime drama." -Tina Marie Connell

"Jenny's great! She really creates a positive and fun atmosphere and gives really good feedback." -Emily Cannon-Brown

"I would take this class again. She's fabulous!" -Loydeen Pulsifer

"Jenny's straightforward feedback is rare and refreshing. I walked away from her class knowing a little bit more about myself and a lot more about what I needed to work on as an actor." -Stacey Van Gorder
