Commercial work allows performers’ personalities to shine in a way very few acting opportunities do. But nailing the audition leading up to booking a gig is still as important as every. If you’re looking to fine tune your commercial copy skills, allow Backstage to help.
As part of Backstage’s Actor’s Toolkit series, commercial actor and coach Emily Nash will be hosting a free workshop on May 13 at 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT/8 p.m/ UK to demonstrate how actors can add their own touch to commercial audition copy and make it more engaging for casting directors.
Actors 18 years and older looking to participate can apply here, and those selected will be provided with copy to prepare prior to the workshop.
Nash, who is an Actor’s Equity actor, singer, and commercial coach that has appeared on numerous commercial spots for Google Maps, Chase, Panera, Facebook, and more will provide live feedback and advice on the participants’ performances.
The workshop will be livestreamed, so participants should be prepared to consent to being recorded and potentially have the recording shared on Backstage’s website and YouTube page.
Actor’s Toolkit, focused on keeping actors in tune with the nuts and bolts of the business of acting, is part of Backstage’s The Slate Watch + Learn Video Programming.
