Over 25 years ago, as more children became professionally involved in modeling and television, The Cameo Agency identified the need to provide training for these budding actors and models. A professional workshop--totally different from expensive modeling schools--was developed and The Television Workshop was born.

Intro to TV & Modeling is a professional on-camera workshop for ages 8-15 that presents a professional overview of TV commercials, modeling and on-camera acting. It is designed to provide the foundation necessary to turn potential into performance! This eight-week course includes:
  • Movement
  • Modeling
  • Photography
  • Speech
  • Drama
  • TV Commercials
For a small fee, students can receive:
  • An Mp3 of their radio commercial that can be emailed
  • A DVD of photographs from the photography class
  • A DVD of their TV commercial to show friends & family
 

All workshop faculty are professionals with extensive resumes in Los Angeles, New York City and Boston, and each has taught children and adults. Classes are small, allowing teachers to provide hands-on training in preparing students for potential jobs in print, media, TV commercials, radio voice-overs, the Internet and major motion pictures.

Workshop graduates have gone on to appear in ads for Hasbro, LL Bean, Talbots, Gap, Timberland, and many more. Others have done TV commercials for companies including Verizon, Comcast, McDonalds, Coke, and Papa Gino’s. Graduates have also appeared in several major motion pictures such as Gone, Baby, Gone, Bride Wars, Mystic River, 27 Dresses and others too numerous to mention.

And no matter a student’s career path, they will take their experiences from The TV Workshop into all walks of life!
