Have you ever thought about doing commercials
but thought that you didn't have the "commercial look?" The
fact is, everyone has the commercial look! Advertising agencies
need people of all shapes, sized and colors to advertise
their products to - you guessed it - people of all shapes
sizes and colors! So what are you waiting for? You can possibly
make several thousands of extra dollars a year doing commercials
and have more fun than you've ever imagined doing so!
What most actors and non-actors alike don't understand about
the process of auditioning for commercials to actually shooting
them is that "acting" plays a very small role in
commercials. In fact based on a recent survey, LA casting
directors agreed that actors would have more success at auditioning
for commercials if they would not come in and try to act,
but use more of their own natural gifts and talents in
the audition process. This means that if you can develop
the ability to just be yourself on camera or be
the person that your best friends know you to be in the
audition process, you will increase your chances for booking
the job!
Unlike television and film, for the most part commercials
do not require that you read large volumes of copy (scripts).
More than 60 to 75% of the time, you will be asked a personality
question such as, "so tell me about yourself" or "so
where are your from?" These personality questions simply
show the decision makers if you are a fun loving person with
a pleasing personality. If you watch television commercials
you will notice that they are usually upbeat and crafted
in a way to interest you in the product that they are trying
to sell. This usually requires lots of smiles and personality.
If you think about it, you are usually this type of person
when you are hanging out with your best friends or loved
ones. Now all you have to do is let us show you how to bring
that person in front of the camera and you'll have success
at doing commercials!
