The Complete Commercial Workout
Testimonials
I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I enjoyed Scott Wissner's Commercial Class! He's a great teacher! He can pin-point your weaknesses and help you move past them... he was just great! Please let me know if he is ever teaching another class.

Yesterday, I shot my first principal role in a National Sag Commercial. It's for Las Vegas Tourism. Your class was the best! The tips you gave on slating our names, and letting me see myself mugging on camera gave me the confidence to nail the audition. Thanks you so much,

Burt Reynolds, one of my acting instructors at Bev. Hills Playhouse told me one true datum: there are many, many teachers we have come in contact with over the years...but there will be ONE who will speak to you, and that's the one you should go with. You are such a teacher! Thank you so much for the best 4 weeks I've ever had under a commercial teacher's tutelage. I really got it this time. You made it fun, challenging, interesting, and certainly non-threatening. I love your philosophy on how to treat people. Emphasize wrongnesses and that's what you will get -- wrongnesses; emphasize rightnesses and you will get rightnesses -- and growth. Again, thanks ever so much!!

Thanks to you I just shot a PSA for Time Warner cable on the environment, sponsored by the United Nations. It was just as you showed us in class, very subtle movements and reactions. The director said I take directions well. I had a good teacher.

Scott Wissner challenged and inspired me through his great teaching, generosity of his wisdom and kindness; to seek the realness in myself and to bravely apply it to the intricate details of commercial acting that he thoroughly outlined.

Melissa is an insighful and dynamic acting teacher and coach. The great gift give actors is the power to "own their audition". Her many years of experience offer an enlighting new take on the callback process, helping actors conquer fears and overcome obstacles that arise during these auditions.

Melissa brings fun and energy to any project she works on! She is great with actors and I can count on her to bring out the best of them in any audition. She is my number one pick as a session director.

Mel's magnetic personality allows actors to really open up to her and trust her opinions as a session director. She is able to use this connection to strip off barriers that may be holding an actor back, and bring the best performance out in an audition.

After taking this class I feel thoroughly prepared for just about every aspect of commercial auditioning: how to handle the four major types of auditions, what to expect at a callback, how to handle the product, and how to play to my strengths. On top of all this Melissa is fun to work with, puts everyone at ease and gives individualized feedback to each student. I highly recommend it!

Your class gave me such an education. Since I am new to commercials and the whole audition process, I got a huge value out of all of your lessons, and I'm excited for my auditions
