Success Stories From Advanced Industry Workshop!

AIW FAQs

When is the Advanced Industry Workshop held?

AIW is held twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring.

Do I need to take off from work to participate in AIW?

Yes. Because AIW is conducted in two weeks time, you are often at the studio all day on the days listed on the schedule. It’s best to clear your work schedule on the days of the program, so you can participate in all of the events.

Do I need to prepare material?

Each AIW event will list the material you need to prepare. Often Industry Guests will assign sides, but sometimes you will be asked to prepare a monologue, commercial copy, or a cold-read.

What should I bring with me to AIW?

Always bring TWO COPIES of your sides to AIW and always bring extra copies of your headshot and resume.

What should I wear to AIW?

Dress like you would for an on-camera audition. We always recommend subtly suggesting the role that you are reading in class, but remember to keep this subtle. Our backdrops in our classrooms are sky blue, so please plan accordingly.

Can I bring food to AIW?

Because this is an extended program, you are permitted to bring food and leave it in our refrigerator, so you can eat meals in between classes. Please be aware of food allergies and know that any leftover food will be tossed at the end of the program.
