4 Week On-Camera COMMERCIAL Class with David Cady, Commercial Casting Director, Donna DeSeta Casting PLUS 3 Commercial Agents of your choice!

Saturday, August 12, 2017, 11am ET / 8am PT

This event is in the past.

Hailed as one of THE BEST Commercial teachers in town, we are thrilled to have David teaching this always SOLD OUT SATURDAY Commercial Class.

Many of our actors have requested to work with David, so here is your opportunity!

Over the course of 4 weeks, you'll work on: on-camera technique, breaking down commercial copy, working with cue cards, testimonial vs more character driven auditions, and improv.

You'll also learn tricks of the trade, common mistakes and how to fix them, what really goes on at a call-back and he'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? David 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!

Work on-camera in every class!
