HOSTING 5-WEEK INTENSIVE

Taught by Kat Rapheal, Casting Director

John Ferriter, Sr. VP and Head of Non-Scripted Television for the William Morris Agency recently stressed that some of his most notable clients have diversified their careers with Hosting. He added that it is important to think outside the box and be open-minded to new opportunities in this ever-changing industry. Many actors have launched successful television and film careers based on the exposure they received from Hosting. Branding yourself as a host is a viable way to expand your opportunities as a Host and a Business. Intensive will culminate in a Performance before an Industry Panel of Agents, Managers, and Network Executives!
