Intermediate Commercial
"I booked my first national commercial after the very first class"
Commercials are a great way to make extra money... or even a lot of money!
And the good news is casting directors are looking for every type of person. Every age, ethnicity, gender, and physicality can find a place in commercials.
More good news? You don't need an agent or even acting experience. You only need to know how to show casting directors you are a perfect fit.
This is where the magic comes in.
How can you increase your chances that a casting director will know you are right for the role? This is what we teach you in Intermediate Commercial.
And we don't stop there...
In addition to showing you how to increase your chances of booking, we give you all the insider tips on how to look like a pro with your casting profile and up your odds of getting more auditions by using... Your unique brand. Brilliant headshots. And more.
Don't Get Lost In The Crowd!
Unlike other courses where you are 1 of 30 or 1 of 100, we limit our class size to 10. What this means for you is that at every session you receive personalized attention with clear feedback that you can implement immediately. Just in time for your next audition!
Because we know that every piece of feedback you get will increase your chances of booking that role.
Isn't that cool?

What's Unique About Our Program
We remove the mystery with our checklist of what to do and expect before, during and after every commercial audition.
We work on the 5 types of auditions for non-speaking principal roles. That's right! In commercials you can have no lines but still be a principle actor (and receive principle pay)!
With our Audition Worksheet, you'll be ready for all speaking roles. You'll learn how to create a story that is creative without looking like a rookie.
And throughout this course, your mentor Kimberly Jürgen will show you how to stand out by being your authentic self.

What to expect in Intermediate Commercial
Today, commercial auditions are either self-taped, virtual or in-person. In our live virtual sessions, you will learn what is expected of you in all 3 environments.
This eliminates the need to figure it out on your own. You'll know exactly what to do in each scenario.
Each week, you work at your own pace watching a new module of training videos and recording your self-tape assignment.
This allows you to be flexible with your schedule while, at the same time, using cutting-edge strategies to ensure you always ready to go.
At your group sessions, Kimberly reviews that week's training and provides feedback on your self-tape. Then she coaches you as you apply the notes to your performance.
This invaluable feedback not only gets the training into your muscle memory, but also prepares you for applying a casting director's redirect at your auditions.
At graduation, you'll experience a mock audition to make sure you are as ready as you can be to work with a casting director at a live audition.
