5 Week ADVANCED Commercial Class with Barry Shapiro, CD, Herman & Lipson Casting and THREE COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY GUESTS

Wednesday, November 9, 2016, 6:30pm ET / 3:30pm PT

This ADVANCED class will start where Barry's Beginner/Intermediate On-Camera Commercial Class left off using more advanced thirty second scripts. There will also be more attention spent on partner/group reads, improv, dialogue, non speaking commercials and bite & smile commercials. One class will be devoted to a mock audition where the students will all read for a commercial and see why they did or did not get a callback. Time will also be spent on pictures and resumes and each student will have a private one on one meeting where their marketability and how they need to improve will be discussed.

The final class, you'll showcase to THREE Commercial Industry Guests chosen by the class and invited by Barry.

***Prerequisite for this class is 5 Week On-Camera COMMERCIAL CLASS or you have taken a Commercial Intensive with Barry or you've been approved by him in advance.***

A fabulous opportunity to work with one of the TOP CD's in town with over 30 years experience in casting. Barry's recently cast commercials for GOOGLE, TACO BELL, McDONALDS, NFL, REVLON, MILLER BEER, DICK'S SPORTING GOODS, VOLKSWAGEN, BAYER ASPIRIN and MACARONI GRILL to name a few.

Work on-camera in every class!

Barry has been known to call in actors direct from his class for principal auditions. Certainly an opportunity not to be missed.
