Calling all Comedy actors!
Don't miss our newest TV Comedy / Sitcom Class with Allen Hooper who was the casting associate on MODERN FAMILY for the run of the show from the pilot to the final episode (250 episodes!)
With other casting associate credits that include FRASIER, CALL ME KAT, SUPERIOR DONUTS and more, Allen knows the ins and outs of auditioning and working on TV comedies and sitcoms.
In your first class, Allen will run a Co-Star Comedy Challenge. The format will be a mock producer session to help you see “behind the curtain.”
As a class, you'll be assigned the same co-star sides. The various roles will help illustrate how to make the average interesting, how to make the extreme genuine, and how creating your environment through experience, research and imagination can elevate your acting choices.
In your second class, Allen will work with you on TV Comedy and SitcomTraining.
You'll work on prepared one-on-one sides with a reader to better train for the real world. Allen will assign material or you can choose from a list of provided options.
The various roles will help illustrate knowing your type, the value of being word perfect, how to bring to life the writer's intent while making it your own, and ways to transition great improv and theatre experience into the acting style of television comedy.
Q&A is interspersed throughout along with a closing Q&A.
Don't miss this chance to work with this TOP Casting Director!
