Porter Kelly’s Commercial Audition Workshop

I have taken quite a few commercial classes in the Los Angeles area, and Porter’s is by far my favorite. First of all, she is so sweet and thoughtful. But more importantly, she knows what she is talking about. Plus, she is actually out there auditioning as well so she knows what the current landscape is which I think is CRUCIAL for any teacher.
Her class caters to using your most invaluable tool-​yourself. It’s all about how to be yourself, while utilizing all of the tools and techniques to make yourself look best on camera, and deliver a fantastic performance that is completely natural. She covers all of the aspects of commercial auditioning, in an open, nurturing environment. And not just the actual audition-​but callbacks, fittings and on-​set. I couldn’t recommend Porter more highly.

This class is AMAZING!
I had never taken a commercial workshop class before, and I am so glad a good friend of mine told me about this class! Porter is AMAZING, funny, kind, and a wonderful teacher! — I am so lucky to now call her my friend!
Each week was great, and she always had it broken down in a simple way, to master that weeks task. I have never felt more ready to go out on auditions, and I can’t wait!
I would highly recommend this class to anyone who is wanting to book auditions and /​or just starting out!
Honestly, this was the best 8 weeks ever!

I just finished my workshop and I must say… IT WAS A FUN, EXTREMELY USEFUL AND COMPLETELY WORTHY EXPERIENCE!
I decided to take Porter’s workshop after I heard amazing things about it, but I must say that I was very nerveous at the beginning for some reason I had this previous conception that I was not good for commercials. And I need to say that the magic of Porter lies exactly in the fact that she sees ones «weaknesses» as uniqueness and there for… As a possibility for booking the job! She really cares, is extremely giving and very very VERY FUN!
You don’t just jump into camera without preparation, she takes you from the hand and walks you through her own experiences… How to prepare, what to wear, how to be in the moment and afterwards, how to let it go and take care of yourself.
I have to say that my confidence in front of the camera definetly increased, speciially because I learnt that everything I need to do in the audition is already inside of me… I just need to unleash it and have fun!!!
SIGN UP NOW!!! IT IS A MUST-​TAKE CLASS FOR ACTORS AT ANY LEVEL (my class had beginners and skme other people that have been around for a looooooong time)

A TERRIFIC CLASS!
I would recommend Porter’s class to anyone who wants to improve their auditioning skills, get constuctive and personalized feedback from the other side of the camera, and just have fun. Porter is warm and funny and draws from an incredible amount of expertise which she breaks down into a simple approach that makes a huge difference. I am so glad I took the class, and I go into my auditions feeling much more confident now. Now I understand why everyone raves about this class. Take it, already!

This workshop is one of the best commercial classes I’ve taken. Porter is very knowledgeable and is beyond helpful. She helps you discover and fix your nervous «ticks» so that you will shine in your auditions. She takes you throughout the whole process of the commercial audition. That way «WHEN» you book your commercial, you will be beyond prepared. Porter ‘s energy and excitement toward her students is wonderful. This class is a must for anyone who is interested in commercials!!!

THIS IS THE CLASS I RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE!
Porter’s class is the best commercial class I have ever taken. She gives great advice. Her techniques for auditions can be used for commercials and. theatrical auditions. I have gotten call makes and booked several commercials and theatrical auditions, since I have taken her class.
I FEEL SO LUCKY I FOUND HER CLASS!

This was a really good experience for me. Each class was jam-​packed with anecdotes and how-​tos for callbacks and auditions. We «auditioned» first without a camera, then with a camera. She even critiqued our clothes to inform us about what colors would look best on camera. It was amazing how she immediately knew when we would start speaking without being mentally prepared. Correcting this caused us to develop good audition habits and confidence.
The price was very reasonable. Do it!

Look people. There are more workshops and classes probably as there are actors in LA. Lots of casting directors, agents, actors trying to make extra money telling you about your brand, aura, cold reading the same old crap. Listen. To. Me: Porter Kelly is NOT one of these people! Agents send their clients TO HER for a reason. She is not an actor that USED to work a lot and now does classes. She is the real deal. She has broken it down to give all actors who want to work in the commercial industry a REAL taste of what it’s like from audition to callback to booking the job to working on set and has great guests (who you COULD ALSO pay to take class with, but you get the 2 for one here in 8 weeks!) Porter WORKS and knows what the actor perspective is AND has knows it all, hands down. She will pick on you, but not in an abusive way. She does not tell you by the end you will make a gazillion dollars in commercials. You understand the J.O.B of it. The level of actors ranges from beginners to those who have had multiple bookings. I wish I had taken this class when I first came to LA! SO glad I took it NOW! You will earn your fee for this class back and then some when you book your first commercial! GO DO IT.

Whether you are new to world of auditioning for commercials or need a serious refresher course, Porter Kelly’s class is the best place to be! She has YEARS of amazing experience as a gifted actress and improvisation PRO!!! She has created an 8 week class that is the COMPLETE commercial experience — from auditioning to «interviewing» to booking and has a GREAT mock ON SET class which is extraordinarily important for actors who have never experienced what happens AFTER you book a commercial. I have taken the class TWICE (because we ALL need a tune up periodically) and I have referred my students to Porter’s class as part of their across the board professional development. Get into Porter’s next class! You will be AMAZED at what you will learn there!!!
