The BizKidz - Working Professionals Coaching Kids & Teens in Thousand Oaks

On-Camera Commercial Acting

 

“Having booked 6 National Commercials and over 8 Regional Spots with such clients as VISA, AOL, & CINGULAR, I’m thrilled to share my knowledge & experience with up and coming kids! I've been fortunate enough to play“the mom” in several commercials I’ve shot, which has allowed me the opportunity to work with many kids and talk with the parents of these working kid actors. I not only know first hand what is expected of kids on the set, but also how to prepare them to have strong, competitive auditions, giving the casting director and producers exactly what they’re looking for!”
