Kathy Wickline Casting Agency

Since 2014, I have had the privilege and pleasure of teaching with the Kathy Wickline Casting Agency in Philadelphia.

Hosting & Spokesperson, Professional Voice-Over, Teleprompter Certification and other classes are a true joy to share with these industry professionals!

Hands-on attention is given to students looking to learn the skills of this quickly growing trade of hosting.  Many acting jobs require a professional delivery of a spokesperson or hosting personality.  There is an abundance of work in the Philadelphia market for cable TV, podcasts, commercials, industrial films, and much more! 70% of the work here is for Hosting and Spokesperson roles. Why not tap into it by learning the skills on how to host a TV segment or promote a product/service.

These classes will provide insight into the industry, and help you develop your own on-camera personality and interview technique. Find out how to earn a living in the entertainment industry by just being yourself and developing your own style. Learn the methods to read from teleprompter (most acting jobs today require this skill).
