Co-Stars and Commercials: Creating Auditions that Stand Out | 3-Week Zoom Workshop

In the world of co-star and commercial auditions, dialogue may be minimal, but your impact doesn't have to be. These auditions often come with their own unique set of challenges: How much should you do? Where should you focus your energy? How can you serve the story when you have just a few lines (or none at all)? What can you do to book the room, if not the role?

In this transformative three-week workshop, casting director and coach Brette Goldstein, CSA brings 25 years of experience (with thousands of self-tapes watched) to help you master the art of the audition when there’s little dialogue but so much opportunity. (After all, who doesn’t want a network credit or national commercial?)

Brette will guide you through key strategies to stand out in short scenes and commercial prompts, from understanding your role in the story to the nuances of creating memorable self-tapes. Each session will include analysis of actual tapes and personalized feedback to help you sharpen your skills and increase your booking potential. These essential skills, rarely taught but always necessary, could be the difference between landing the role and getting lost in the crowd.

This workshop will meet on October 8th, 15th, and 22nd from 2-5pm PT / 5-8pm ET.
