SYNOPSIS 

Hugh P. Klitzke is bringing back this exciting and informative workshop!  In this session you will see there’s much more to commercial scripts and commercial reads than you might have thought. You will learn how commercials are constructed to be understood with only one hearing and to see opportunities to read with subtext.  Apply these, and your reads will come alive! 


PLEASE NOTE:
Participants will receive a packet of commercial audition copy a few days before class. Participants will be asked to choose one piece of copy and given submission instructions. Several MP3s will be randomly selected to be shared during class time. Due to time constraints not every audition submitted is guaranteed feedback. Members will not know beforehand if their submission will be used during class time. Members also have the option to attend class to listen and learn without submitting an MP3.
