STUDIO INSTRUCTORS
G. CHARLES WRIGHT
FOUNDER
G. Charles Wright is a 21 year veteran of TV casting; a career he says he was studying for his entire life and didn’t know it! A graduate of USC with a degree in communications (emphasis on television, critical studies,) G. has been on both sides of the camera, as an actor, a casting director, a content creator, a producer and a director.
In addition, G’s been teaching actors how to audition in his private studio classes since 2002.
G started in casting at 33 years old interning for Carsey/Werner studios on 3RD ROCK FROM THE SUN. Shortly after that he moved up the ranks from assistant to associate and finally casting director on THAT ‘70s SHOW over 7 of the series 8 seasons. G is the original casting director of the PBS and Jim Henson Co. animated series SID THE SCIENCE KID, the FX channel’s ANGER MANAGEMENT starring Charlie Sheen, the ABC comedy series, THE MIDDLE starring Patricia Heaton and the IFC horror/comedy series from Dana Gould, STAN AGAINST EVIL. He is currently casting DIARY OF A FUTURE PRESIDENT on Disney+.
In all, he has over 600 episodes of television still running in syndication and streaming.
JOHN M. KEATING
SENIOR INSTRUCTOR
John M Keating is a working actor, audition coach and former nationally touring comedian. Having studied and taught with G for over 10 years, John has coached hundreds of actors on co-star, guest star and series regular auditions for both comedic and dramatic roles.
John has a knack for helping actors make the transition from stage to screen, be it from standup, improv or live theater. He works with actors on knowing their types for TV and Film and how to bring themselves to every audition, especially ones that aren’t an immediate fit for them.
As a comic, John shared stages with acts such as Dave Chappelle and Barenaked Ladies. He's guest starred on CRIMINAL MINDS, THE MIDDLE, ANGER MANAGEMENT and also co-wrote and starred in THE CONCESSIONAIRES MUST DIE! (featuring Dan Lauria and the late Stan Lee), which was a featured selection at the Palm Springs International Film Festival and is currently on iTunes and Amazon.
