I would like to
thank every one of you for visiting my website AuditioningForCommercials.com.
I invite you to call me so that I may tell you more about my
workshops and discuss how I may be able to help you in your own
pursuit in auditioning for commercials. I tell everyone that
takes my workshop, that I am not a teacher of acting. But as a
working Casting Director for almost 20 years and a professional actor for more than 30 years, I
bring a very different perspective to my students on how to
approach the entire auditioning process for commercials. My
workshop is based on what I’ve seen work as a Casting
Director, and what has worked for me as a professional actor. I
invite you to read the student testimonials below to see what
they say.

“I
just want to thank you for the amazing weekend workshop Daniel
just took. He tells me that he feels so much more confident and
knowledgeable thanks to you. He also had such a good time that he did
not want to leave. Having an experienced teacher makes all the
difference between a valuable education and a "fair"
education. He tells me that if he could take another class from you,
he would not hesitate a moment. Thank you for everything.”

“TR draws upon his personal experience as an actor and his knowledge
of the business and creates a workshop that allows the student to walk away with a
vivid understanding of what is required of actors in the making of commercials.
If you want to be completely immersed in the full knowledge of the making of commercials,
do not miss TR’s workshop Auditioning for Commercials.”
- William A. Rocker
“After taking TR Durphy’s, Auditioning for Commercials Workshop,
my confidence on castings was increased tenfold. The workshop was incredibly comprehensive.
TR broke up the art of auditioning in a timely and precise manner that was easy to
understand and follow. The next audition I went on after the class I was a completely
different actor. I was able to apply what he had taught me in class and I not only got
a callback, I BOOKED THE COMMERCIAL. I highly recommend this class to people either just
entering into the business, as well as for seasoned actors.”
- Nick Safina
“Your class really helped prepare me for the busy season here in Miami!
I had no idea how big the commercial industry was here until now and your class was so informative and fun
that it gave me the confidence and techniques to audition more successfully. Your techniques to a successful
audition have been a lifesaver! I will always remember the stories you shared, the experience you lived that
made you a successful actor….and the on-going practice during your class was essential for everyone.
It may be cliché, but "practice make perfect." I honestly feel that because of your dedication and genuine
interest in the class and your students, you have made a true believer in me! As you know, this is my first
season for modeling/acting since college. I have been booked about once a week here for either print or
commercial. The timing in taking your class couldn't have been better and I attribute my recent successes
to you and your class TR, thanks again!”
- Meghan Deering
“What a Weekend!! Your workshop was a blast. You, having worked professionally since
age 9, know it's not unusual to have "fun" in acting classes. It's not unusual to even
SHARPEN existing skills. But to actually learn something new is a real treat. I have
walked away with new and invaluable knowledge. It's now 1 full week and 1 callback since
the workshop began. Did I book it? That's out of my hands. Did I get the reactions
that I wanted? Yes! I got those stone-faced "clients" to laugh and lean forward in their
seats. Sincere Thanks. Do you have any objection to repeat students?”
- Matthew Noble
“TR Durphy is dynamic, honest, and straight forward. He offers invaluable insight into
commercial casting auditions using the best techniques and approaches. Equally, TR has the
ability to relate and communicate the task all actors face upon entering any audition.
With TR's personal attention, his workshop allows the actor to learn and practice in a very
comfortable environment. After working with TR, I have had the opportunity to practice and
apply his approach and techniques in my auditions with great success. Thank you TR for
offering your knowledge and skills and allowing me the opportunity to work with a true
master of the trade. I look forward to working with you again.”
- Marjie Shirey
“T.R., Your commercial class helped me to better understand, and
create an approach to commercials during the auditioning process. There was so much
information to learn from you and your experiences. The class was interactive, supportive,
and fun! There is still so much to learn from you, and I look forward to taking your class
again!”
