2 Training Opportunities - On-Camera Audition Workout & Actor Typing Workshop
Respond by:
CEL Studio is offering 2 training opportunities: an On-Camera Audition Workout and an Actor Typing Workshop. Details are below.
Seats are limited. If you want to join either class or have any questions, reach out via this form ASAP. I’m happy to talk about my approach, the classes, or how they will benefit you at your experience level.
On-Camera Audition Workout – begins January 23!
A few seats remain open for this 4-week series of workouts designed for experienced actors interested in improving their on-camera audition skills. Actors in this class will be drilling the on-camera audition process – actively working to get better at it.
In the workouts we will:
- Work on camera with film and episodic sides, and review the work
- Build on your on-camera audition technique
- Refine your audition prep process for interpreting sides, and making engaging choices
- Drill cold readings
- Focus on each actor’s individual needs
When: 4 Thursdays 1/23, 1/30, 2/6 and 2/13, from 6 to 9 pm
Where: Grain Belt Bottling House Studios, NE Minneapolis
Cost: $200
In each session we will work on-camera with feedback. And you will apply these skills in mock-auditions. No matter where you are in your auditioning skills, you will level up. This class can be repeated for continued confidence and skill development.
Actors who have taken my Ongoing Scene Study Class or Self Tape Boot Camp are invited to join. Actors who have not are welcome to submit their demo or self tape samples to be considered.

*** Actors who express interest in the class are Waitlisted. To secure their seat actors must pay in full. Cancellations more than 7 days before the class will result in a refund of half the class fee, or the full amount may be applied towards the next class. Cancellations within 7 days of the class will not be refunded, but can be applied to upcoming classes or Coaching or Consulting sessions.
Actor Typing Workshop
This workshop is only offered one or two times a year now. So if you are interested in it, this is the time to take it.
In the workshop we cover the importance of understanding your playable types, and how to translate that into effective headshots to increase your chances of being seen for roles you’re right for!
The biggest benefit of the workshop, and what we’ll spend the majority of our time on, is focusing on each actor individually to help define for them their playable types. That is, how they are perceived by those around them.
Actors will walk away with actionable, valuable, individualized information they can use to take their acting pursuits to the next level.
Please note, there is limited seating. If you would like to attend, please contact me via this form ASAP. By reserving a seat you are committing to the entire workshop. Actors must show up early so we may begin on time. Anyone later than 10 minutes will not be admitted.
When: Saturday, February 15, 1 to 4 pm
Where: Grain Belt Bottling House Studios, NE Mpls
Cost: $125

“I now have much clearer guideposts to use in an upcoming headshot session, and, maybe more importantly, specific attributes to look for in characters as part of my ongoing work & practice.” Steve Mallers, Actor
