If you do commercials, or want to, you should be doing commercials -- IN PRINT. The commercial print industry is a logical extension of an actor's repertoire. The extraordinarily high rate, usually $250 an hour, keeps many an actor away from the "cater-waiter syndrome" and can actually help fund an acting career.

We work in a business where 5% of the talent gets 95% of the work, so you must have every competitive edge going for you. This course provides those competitive edges. It is also recognized by every major commercial print agent. And most important -- our student's work.

Q. I'm an actor (or singer or dancer), I don't really consider myself a "model type."
A.It is important to make the distinction between "fashion 'mo - dells," -- those drop-dead beautiful "attitudinal" types geared only toward the young; and "commercial print models" -- which are your idealized versions of everyday types -- executives, mommies/daddies, blue collar/pink collar, active outdoorsy types, etc. that encompass all age ranges. In reality, many performers can and do make excellent print models.

Q. Isn't it just showing up and smiling?
A.If that were the case, everyone would be rich doing it! Like all other professions, everything that looks easy is the product of solid training, developed skills and expertise -- all necessary for the preparation of a successful career.

Q. Is this going to take time away from my acting career?
A. Absolutely not, that is, unless your on a print shoot making $250 an hour. Most go-sees, unlike auditions, take about five minutes- no call-backs! And since the purpose of Commercial Print is to help you stay away from survival jobs, you should actually have more time to devote to your acting career.

Q. How do I know if I can succeed in Commercial Print?
A. Speak to us. Many actors sell themselves short in this area. We'll give you an honest evaluation whether or not this would be appropriate for you to pursue.
