Director/Actor Pat Battistini is back again!!  He recently completed work directing a short with BEN STILLER (Meet the Fockers, Zoolander, Starsky and Hutch...)!!  Find out more about Pat @  www.hoosierdaddyfilms.com

If you’ve ever auditioned for commercials here in South Florida, you know how important it is to be able to think on your feet. So many of the commercial auditions do not involve scripted dialog but merely ask you to create an imaginary situation and “act it out”. This challenging yet fun 3-day experience will make you think faster and more creatively on you feet!!  Tired of standing there wondering what to do? Do your best ideas come to you on the ride home after the audition?

 In this class, you will go through a series of improvisational exercises that will help you make clean, clear choices at your next audition!  Learn what casting directors expect from you the minute you walk through the door from one of the best “Improv guys” in the biz!!! Only $195

 Call TODAY to sign up! (954)731-4888

Improv is crucial!!  A majority of the Commercials cast down here use improv skills as well as many film projects. We are not talking sketch comedy and you do not need to be a comedian, but you must know how to think on your feet. You must be able to come up with plausible interesting situations to act out within seconds. I can't tell you how many times in a callback a director will say "Ok now let's try this", and then throw a completely new scenario at the actor. How quickly the actor reacts often makes or breaks the booking!  And it's not just for Commercials. Many FILM Castings required improv too.  Only $195 Call Laura/Lisa 954-731-4888 (Friday 7pm-10pm/Saturday & Sunday 10am-6pm)
