Commercials

Here at TVI, we are fortunate enough to attract not only gifted actors, but the “cream of the crop” of casting directors and agents. Joel Carlton of DGRW Talent Agency (who happens to represent new consultant, Mackenzie Thomas), recently attended one of our showcases just last week to scope out the fabulous talent at TVI. Looking for representation? Call us now to sign up for a Commercial or Legit Agent Showcase, where you will receive detailed agent feedback and possibly the opportunity to sign with an incredible agent.

Lisa Niedermeyer, TVI Actors Studio Member and member of the prominent dance group Jane Comfort & Company, recently sent out a mailing to commercial agents. She used her TVI membership benefits to have her personal career coach help her create a great marketing piece. And it paid off. Lisa is now working with Abrams Artists Agency. Look for her in upcoming print and commercial advertisements and for her upcoming dancing in the world premiere of An American Rendition with Jane Comfort & Company.

Polar Bears, Palin and sketch comedy… Oh, my. TVI member Jessica Marasco is taking her future in her own hands. With Youtube and a PTA Soccer mom sketch, these female comediennes are talking PTA politics. Watch out Tina Fey… here comes Jessica Marasco (like Tobasco) as Denise Stevens who will beat anyone in a Cookie Competition Bake Sale.

So . . . remember a few weeks ago when we told you that Aoni Ma signed with Stage 9 after doing a TVI mailing? Well, cut to today when she just booked her first American National Commercial for Coca-Cola that will make her SAG eligible and pay her lots of money!

Long time TVI LA member, Kyle Templin, is on a booking streak! He recently booked commercials for the companies Cassio and Kia, so watch for Kyle during the commercial breaks of your favorite shows! Keep up the good work Kyle!

Attention Parents and Young Actors: The Amazing Kate Tellers, Working Actress and Stand Up Comedienne is heading to TVI Actors Studio New York to teach your young cut-ups how to fully structure a stand-up act. With many successful one-woman shows under her belt, engagements at New York’s Comedy Hot Spots, and rave reviews from the young actors who attended our Summer Camp - we know that Kate’s class is one you don’t want to miss.

Plus, once your little Seinfeld has their act developed, they can showcase their comedy, cuteness, and charm for 3 of New York’s top Youth Talent Agents at our upcoming Commercial Showcase. These are coming soon, so call immediately. Many of our students, like Sophia Rodyakin (pictured here) benefited immensely from Kate’s class and our Commercial Agent Showcase in the past - now she’s working with 2 of the agents who saw her act!

People always ask us whether the agents who participate in our showcases really call in actors. Well, in case you haven’t been keeping up with this blog, they do. This past week, Stewart Talent, a major NY Boutique agency, called in TVI Member Helen Tong after meeting her at a recent Commerical Agent Showcase. Helen is back in New York after a stint on the mainstage for Toronto’s Second City.
