Series Regular Intensive
ABOUT THIS CLASS
This 5-week intensive is tailored for actors experienced in auditioning for guest stars, recurring and series regular roles. Over the five weeks, we'll delve into the nitty-gritty of series regular auditions, whether it be a self-tape, virtual or in-person auditions.
​
Auditioning for a Series Regular role requires more work and that does not just mean more audition material. It’s about creating a character that makes audiences want to watch their journey over potentially many seasons.
​
You will get challenging assignments and personalized feedback for each type of audition. You'll receive valuable insights into the casting process, industry expectations, and how to make Series Regular audition stand out. The class will be taught by Casting Directors Jami Rudofsky (in-person) and Christy Faison (on-line) who have cast pilots for all major networks giving you invaluable insight into the process of casting Series Regular roles.
This class is a combination of a group setting and one-on-ones.

Christy and Jami take such incredible time and care to create a space in which you can truly discover and develop your voice as an artist. They select material specifically for you, so over the course of the class, you come to really understand how casting sees you and your essence. They’re both always so supportive, while also guiding you to a deeper understanding of material, character and story. The class also attracts such high level of talent, just being in the room is a master class every week. I leave feeling so creatively fulfilled after every class. I’ve taken 2 rounds already and will definitely be back for more!"

There are lots of acting classes in LA but this is the class I've been needing. It’s set like a real audition session, where you have a limited time to prepare, and then you bring your work in front of casting directors with years of experience casting pilots. Each week you are honing your skills for the professional arena. You even get the video files to review on your own. With this series regular class I’m able to stay ready for when those big opportunities happen, and I can walk into casting offices with even more confidence knowing that I’ll be doing my best work. Because in the end, for working actors, it’s the feeling you get after leaving the room knowing you gave your all….that helps you find joy in the process…every time you audition.
