COMMERCIAL PRINT INTENSIVE
The Commercial Print Intensive is one of the best investments I’ve made for my career. I learned more about this part of the industry in 6 weeks than I’ve learned about somethings in years of classes. I went in to the class with almost no knowledge of this field and I left feeling confident about pursuing commercial print as a viable source of income. Thank you to Scott Powers Studios for another successful and informative 6 weeks!
-Nicole Shaw
When Scott first said there were opportunities for me in Print, I said ‘Really?’. Not only had I never considered it, I couldn’t imagine it. Once I realized what I didn’t know, I realized there was more I needed to know. I attended the Print Forum, shortly after I starting working with an agent and next thing I knew I had my first gig. Now that I was officially working in print I wanted to learn more so I enrolled in the Commercial Print Intensive. This class helped me realize how to expand my perception of where I could work in print and provided me the insight and working knowledge that normally would have taken me a year or years to learn. What I learned has been a great resource and advantage as I attend go-sees and shoots. As an actor print not only offers supplemental income, it is another platform where I can exercise my storytelling craft, a picture speaks 1000 words.

The course was very interesting, fun, and brought a out a reality to the way we do things in our industry. Forcing us to think outside of the box and approach auditions differently in order to stand out and be noticed and not just be another face in the crowd.

Before taking this class I hadn’t had any experience with commercial acting. After taking this class I can confidently say that I know how to handle a commercial audition and copy. The instructors are great and energizing. I felt motivated and challenged with each class. If you’re interested in taking this class, go for it! The networking alone is beneficial and you will learn how to handle any commercial audition that comes your way.

The Commercial Class at Scott Powers Studios is great. Class sizes are just the right so you can receive the one on one attention and still work in a group setting. Being able to work in front of multiple veterans in all walks of the business helped me discover who is looking for what from the audition room to shooting on set. This is a great class to take for making new connections or for working to break into the world of commercials

THE REAL DEAL PROGRAM
A great opportunity to audition, get thoughtful actionable feedback, and begin to develop relationships with 8 Industry people who genuinely want you to succeed. More than worth my tuition investment.
– Rick Johnston
Recently, I attended Scott Powers’ Real Deal Course. I met several agents, casting directors, producers and managers who are ‘A-listers’ in the industry. An intimate setting was created, and each industry shared personal stories and information that caused me to rethink my strategy for moving ahead in my career. I also performed for each of these industry professionals and received valuable feedback. My career is in fast-forward because of the information received. Time well-spent.

Extremely honest and useful information on how to stand out and succeed in this business, as well as, great feedback on our class auditions made this a very worthwhile and informative class.
– Dr. Stu Silverberg
One of the most enjoyable aspects of the “Real Deal” was being able to meet / audition for the industry guests that included agents, casting directors, producers and managers in a relaxed atmosphere. Actors had the opportunity to ask industry questions in what really was a judgment-free zone. The best feature (in my opinion) was the one-on-one with each industry guest held after the auditions. There, we received helpful feedback as well as the contact information with which to forge a future relationship. All in all, it was a very worthwhile and interesting class.
– Rachel Marcus
The Real Deal definitely allowed me to understand the business side of my career. It helped me to identify those things that both hinder and set me apart in the industry, and showed me what I can be doing to move forward within the industry. Thanks so much!

AUDITION TECHNIQUE
Great opportunity for the actor serious about improving their craft – to see themselves on video within one day of class, and to get feedback on key improvements.
– Carol Fritz
When I was the catering chef for movie stars on sets, I really saw a lot behind the scenes with the way things worked. I then stumbled on to Scott Powers Studios and this class with Jenevieve Brewer. I was impressed with how Jenevieve really gets the most out of the actor. She really takes a genuine interest and pulls the plugs to get the actor to dig deep for the performance. We don’t see it in ourselves. We need to have somebody who doesn’t know us to get it out of us. Jenevieve does just that and I have found my on camera acting legs because of Jenevieve’s direction and support. I highly recommend doing whatever you need to do to take at least two classes with her.
– Dean Kropp
I have been a student of Jenevieve Brewer for close to three years. Jenevieve has the ability to bring out the best in a student. Frankly, I was quite surprised with what she brought out in me. I have attended many similar classes and Jenevieve’s has proven to be the most effective
– TJ Kesolits
Acting had been a lifelong dream of mine. But with Jenevieve as a teacher, she inspired me to continuously reach for my goals. I can see the techniques that I have learned in this class. It is the base of my career. Working with Jenevieve has been a wonderful, exciting and a real learning experience.
–Marie Hilaire
I’ve taken several of Jenevieve Brewer’s classes at Scott Powers Studios over the past year and found it to be most effective in developing my acting skills, especially by preparing me for auditions. Her keen intuitive adjustments make a difference in each monologue, and brings out the best in every actors ability. It’s a pleasure to work with Jenevieve. My skills have improved tremendously. I’m definitely better prepared to go on auditions with confidence
– Michele Marinace
Jenevieve Brewer is that rare instructor in a creative field who can zero in on the impediments to a person’s full development in a supportive, encouraging way that doesn’t squash the ability to progress. And her warm, vivacious personality makes it a pleasure to be in her company.
– Bettina Paley
What a class!! Jenevieve creates a safe community by basically permitting us to take risks and reach beyond our normal habits within the class. She not only demands the best work from each of us, but also allows failures to turn into opportunities and friendships to grow. Her personal one-on-one meetings in each class have helped me navigate this challenging industry in which we live. I have booked more indie films in the few months working with her, than in the 2 prior years. She is great!!!

Film Intensive
Imagine having the extraordinary opportunity to act in a scene directed by an Academy-Award nominated producer/director/writer who films it for your reel. This exciting event happens for everyone in Chip Hourihan’s terrific On-Camera Film Intensive.
Chip Hourihan has 2 Academy-Award nominations, the Sundance Grand Jury Prize, 2 Gotham Awards, 2 Independent Spirit Awards, and more than 30 Best Picture and Best Actor Awards. He has produced several television series, hundreds of television programs, network promo packages, and national commercials.
Chip provided an original film script which all of the students in our class read aloud to determine–with Chip’s expertise–which scene would be best for each of our reels. He carefully rehearsed us, suggesting different ways to interpret our characters to be certain which would be most effective.
And what a pleasure it was to meet and work with someone who is known to be one of the finest people in the film industry
– Bettina Paley
My experience with Chip Hourihan’s Film Intensive was absolutely positive and an absolute necessity for any performer pursuing a career in Film. Having had limited experience in Film and TV, I felt like a winner because I was given the opportunity to learn from an experienced, working director and screen writer. Chip shared his knowledge, experience and techniques in non-intimidating approaches that made us all feel confident in our performances. I am very grateful to you, Scott, for offering actors such valuable programs. Thank you, Chip, and thank you, Scott!
– Bijou Kabeya
I’m glad I had the opportunity to work with Chip Hourihan last weekend. I made note of how he talked to everyone, and it was clear that he took a very personal interest in them and their histories. Chip clearly likes people and no doubt draws inspiration from them. He showed enormous patience throughout the weekend. He was quite prompt in getting us our finished reels. Thank you!
– Connie Sheppard
I loved Chip Hourihan’s workshop! Chip was extremely patient and worked with each individual for long periods of time. I felt his undivided attention with each actor as he kept directing the scenes until they were perfect. I enjoyed and greatly benefited from his professional direction. Not only that, Chip was so nice and calm, which made me feel very comfortable working with him. I would definitely take another workshop or class with him in the future
– Nicole Rochet
Chip was a delight, and used his keen director’s eye to tweak take after take to make sure each actor wound up with the best possible scene for their reel. Thanks, Scott!
