Learn how Bill booked 53 National Commercials!
It is a shotgun blast of information, literally 101 things you need to know before your next audition. Students will learn the philosophy of service & how it defeats fear in the audition room, both ours & theirs. You will learn a revolutionary exercise to re-conceptualize your slate & actor thinking, helping you to book a spot in the first two seconds of the audition.
The class will also teach a proven copy-breakdown technique, a direct pitch technique so you can book that national campaign + the one thing you need to do in the callback to book the job. It is designed for the actor who knows nothing about commercial acting & the actor who believes they know everything about commercial acting.
Over & over again, students book DAYS after taking the class. All of the copy is current + all of the work is Zoom on-camera.

Are you an actor who is afraid to improvise? Have you shied away from improv because you don’t feel funny?
Now more than ever, it is important for actors across all genres to be comfortable with improvisation. Improv gives you confidence, teaching you how to take risks and trust yourself! Casting directors often cite improv as the most important skill they look for these days. For an actor, improv it’s not always about being funny...it is about the ability to be spontaneous, to make quick choices, to take direction, to listen, and to be a supportive partner in a scene. An added bonus, improv also helps with the non-acting part of an audition - helping you feel comfortable being your authentic self!
Improv for Actors is a safe space to try out your improv muscles. Jump in and improvise in a fun and non-judgmental environment! It's a blast!!

We'll use Yoga as a vehicle for greater understanding & awareness of humanity. Through specific practices (asana + pranayama), we'll explore grounding, centering, balance, play, inquiry, integration, presence (paying attention) that will lead us to freedom in both our acting + personal lives.
Following the Yoga practice, we open up for discussion to integrate the focus & grounding in our creative & performance practice. Jonni gives you prompts that you can journal and explore with to take these practices into your audition life.
