I'm having such a wonderful time teaching my 3-week beginner Intensive. Love my students! Thanks to you all for braving the cold weather last night and doing cold copy with me!
If anyone has any interest in learning the ins and outs of Commercial Technique at a beginner level, please contact me! We will do a complete, breakdown of what to expect at a Commercial Audition, exercises to help with your technique, lots of copy, and a mock audition at the end.
Cost: $150. Spring dates TBA.
In the meantime, come to my March Monthly Commercial Workshop on Wednesday, March 26th from 6-7:30PM. Cost $50. Shetler Studios/NYC.
This is your chance to get up in front of the class and practice Commercial Copy. Jen will provide feedback and we will hone your skills together. Please contact jen@jenhalperncasting.com to sign up. All welcome!
If anyone is interested in a one-on-one session for private instruction, please contact the office.
Thanks all and hope to see you in the warm weather. :)
