“Commercials are actually a short scene that consists of hitting your mark, giving a look, or letting out your personality with only six lines. To act well in commercials an actor has to be able to let out their personality in a short scene in thirty seconds. Terry’s Commercial Acting technique is based on fundamental acting in a short scene study format. ”
Class Format:
In a fun up-beat environment of acting exercises the class will start out with an Improv for each participant to exercise and stretch the Improv muscle in their brain that is valuable for creativity and thinking fast on their feet.
Through an exercise Terry will teach each participant how to find their own empowerment.
Each participant will perform the script that was assigned to them live through the zoom session. Terry will work the script with each actor & give notes/redirects giving valuable acting lessons to bring their read to the next level. By watching each other the group will learn what makes a good audition worth a call back and a booking.
If time permits at the end of the class Terry will talk about the business and answer any questions from the parents.
Terr’s past work features hundreds of commercials. Including: Target, Nike, Old Navy & more!
Her complete resume features over 200 projects total!
