Introducing Our New Industry Series!

In addition to classes, private coaching and by-audition performance opportunities, the YC is offering a special "Industry Series" each season that will feature one- or two-day workshops and panels specializing in skills and knowledge for students and families about the business of theater and acting.

Open Workshops

Schedule: Sunday, April 26 from 5:00 p.m.-6:30 p.m. via Zoom
Tuition: $75 per household

The world of casting and finding representation for young actors can be daunting. In this 90-minute online workshop session, commercial actor and A.C.T. Acting and On-Camera specialist Baily Hopkins will cover the following topics:

  • understanding the industry landscape
  • setting up an online profile
  • meeting with agencies
  • headshot and resume resources
  • field questions from participants.

This online workshop is open to both parents and their children, with a one household per tuition price. While this workshop is geared toward actors under 18, anyone with an interest in understanding more about the world of agents in the industry are welcome to register. Need-based scholarships are available; please email YoungConservatory@act-sf.org to request an application.
 
About the instructor:
Baily Hopkins has been acting on-camera for over a decade in the Bay Area and Los Angeles, and has a degree in Theatre from UC, San Diego. She's worked with director Joe Robert Cole (Netflix: All Day And A Night), Academy Award-winning cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki (Pre-production VFX for Gravity), Academy Award-winning director Paul Thomas Anderson (The Master), Academy Award-winning director Barry Jenkins (Venmo spot), and Emmy award-winning choreographer Mandy Moore (Stella Artois national spot). Commercially, she’s had principal roles in campaigns for over 60 nationally recognized companies including Comcast, Toyota, Rocket Mortgage, Uber, NerdWallet, Roku, Credit Karma, and Visa. When not in front of the camera, Baily can be found as a Casting Associate at Nancy Hayes Casting in San Francisco. She's also helped cast national SAG and non-union commercials with Kristen Beck, Gregg Cohen, Kristen Armstrong, and Cathi Carlton, so she has her finger on the pulse of what TV and commercial directors are looking for. Going back to her roots in the theater, she's had the opportunity to perform with The Shotgun Players, New Conservatory Theatre Center, We Players, The Speakeasy SF, UCSD/La Jolla Playhouse, American Conservatory Theatre (Youth Company), Contra Costa Civic Theatre, and Masquer’s Playhouse
