Are you ready to BOOK more on-camera commercial work?

Then don't miss this intensive that's all about teaching the INDUSTRY how to cast YOU. It’s about doing a deep dive into awesome, authentic YOU, and giving casting and producers the opportunity to experience a brand through YOUR eyes, your unique world view. 

After helping actors audition successfully for on-camera commercials for years, Brette has boiled down her advice to a succinct 6-step system for nailing commercial copy.

While working one on one with her, students can see first hand how vastly different each actor’s performance is, and how specific and authentic their own, unique delivery can be.

EVENT OVERVIEW:

This online intensive will give all actors sense of what auditions look like from the perspective of a casting director.

We can see the same copy all day and everyone’s performance is different. The actors that book elevate the copy by bringing their own special mojo to it. Their unique voice.  Brette is a pro at helping actors find their mojo and bring it out in their performance.

This intensive is for adults and mature teens (16+).

Limited to 14 students.

TESTIMONIALS:

"I wanted to thank you for some excellent coaching! The six questions are game changing for me, I've never been so connected to a piece of financial copy and I'll be using those tools from now on."
-Ethan James Lynch

"Thank you for another wonderful class! I'm so happy I was able to attend. You always bring such warmth and humor to class, and I learn as much from your comments to others as to me. Your generosity of time is incredible!"
-Tricia McGuinn

"I just wanted to let you know how helpful your class on How to Nail Commercial Copy was last week.  I plan to work at making my delivery feel more personable and warm.  Your points were clear and specific.  I plan to get better at delivering commercial copy by incorporating your amazing suggestions!"
-Eileen Heffernan

"Thank you so much for sharing your humor, your warmth and your expertise today. I truly appreciate how much you give to each student - I learned not only from what you said to me personally, but also to each student in the class. I've taken myriad classes at Actors Connection and although I've enjoyed and learned something in each, the depth of your insight into each student is truly remarkable and, I believe, incredibly helpful in assisting each of us to become our best, most successful actor selves."
-Danielle C. Tezcan

"I was one of the auditors in your Commercial Copy Intensive today and I just wanted to quickly thank you for your time and expertise! It was really inspiring watching how tiny tweaks in the objective or relationship created totally different performances in each actor. I'll definitely be signing up for one of your future classes. You're a total rockstar-unicorn."
-Kelsie Hall

"Working with Brette Goldstein is a complete gift. She really knows how to work with each individual person and find what’s special in them. Her feedback is always positive and specific that you can actually put into action right away. She is so funny, she makes me laugh so much, and what a wonderful way to go about learning!"
-Matthew Ethan Davis

"I just want to thank you again for the '5 Steps to Nailing Commercial Copy' class you taught a couple weeks ago via Actors Connection. Over the years in NY I remember hearing that you were one of the casting directors that people I knew recommended taking classes with the most, and I don't know why it took me so long to take a class with you, but I'm really glad I finally did. The framework you provided us demystified commercial auditioning for me and made it fun, which is not something I previously thought was an option. 

As a NY comedy person, your no-BS (+ humor) teaching style resonated with me, and I'm really looking forward to attending your 'Way Beyond Type' class in November. Thank you Brette!"
-Alex Kraft

Testimonials

Brette Goldstein's workshop was a tremendous experience. She takes all her industry, casting and acting knowledge and and generously presents it to her class in an energetic, caring, smart, funny, and thoughtful way that is uniquely Brette. Her honest critique is given with such love, support, and guidance that you have no choice but to walk away a better on-camera actor no matter where you started. Oh, yes, and she is LOL funny, too!

Catherine Ryan

Brette's fantastic at typing actors and helping them to key into who they are and how they are perceived. I loved that I got full scripts not just scenes, so I really felt that it was more like the actual audition process. She's also excellent at coaching and fine tuning your scene to perfect the audition. Her down to earth, no-nonsense description of the indie film business was immensely helpful and I would recommend this class to anyone who is interested in indies!

Kristen Riley

I just wanted to thank you for your class. I learned SOOOOO much. I am very green when it comes to film and I'm glad I was able to see myself on camera and I picked up so much watching you direct others and having you direct me. Also, I want to thank you for being so human and open with your thoughts on the business. I've recommended you to all my friends.

Salvador Chevez

I can't tell you enough how much I've enjoyed your classes. The feedback and adjustments that you've given, not only to me but to everyone, are sooooo insightful. You have helped me to get to another level.... thank you! My wife who has seen or read most of my scenes from your classes as well as past classes that I've taken at AC said 'SHE GETS YOU!.' She knows the scenes that you have given me are the kinds of scenes and characters that I want to play. So, thank you for 'GETTING ME!'

Ted Oyama

I think your class ROCKS and I am so glad I took it. You have such a positive way of saying things and you are so good at talking to actors. You never belittle, only encourage. Believe me, that is rare. Extremely. Thank you.
