Award-winning commercial director Olivier L. Gagnon teaches you industry secrets to successful child auditions in this new 1-hour course Step into the Spotlight.
Imagine seeing your child on national television.
How loud would they cheer?
And how proud would you feel, knowing you played an active role in bringing one of their biggest dreams to life?
It’s all entirely possible.
And with the guidance of a recognized commercial director, you can find your child a quicker path from auditioning to excelling on set.
Hi! I’m Olivier L. Gagnon.
For the last 10+ years, I’ve directed TV commercials and social media ads seen by more than a billion people worldwide.
And after reviewing thousands of casting tapes…
I’ve gained insight into exactly what directors and clients look for in child auditions – and which mistakes actors commonly make.
Now, I’d like to share these industry secrets with you in my course Step into the Spotlight. So you can finally book your child’s first commercial.
Whether your child wants to be on TV or the big screen, commercials are one of the most effective ways to gain exposure.
In this step-by-step course, you’ll learn everything you need to help your child land their first commercial role, along with insider secrets such as:
“For any child trying to break into acting, there’s no better education than this masterclass. From the perspective of a veteran commercial director, Olivier divulges all the ins and outs of navigating the audition process. Whether your child is just starting out or looking to refine their craft, Olivier gives valuable, engaging insight fueled by genuine passion and care. He truly wants your child to succeed and, with this course, they will!”
“I bought this class for my nephew who is an aspiring commercial actor. With the help of his parents, he was able to get a call back! Very exciting. This class goes into major details of how to exceed in the auditioning process, in person and with self tape. I would recommend. The class is worth it!”
“I bit the bullet and bought the course. The information that you learn from Olivier who is in the industry is priceless. I’m honestly surprised how affordable this course is. He gives you insider knowledge that I haven’t seen anywhere. If you’ve been on the fence about purchasing, just buy it. You won’t regret it. “
“How do I put it into words…This class is extremely underrated. I’m surprised how much is jam packed into 1 hour!! I have an 11 year old son who for the last 4 years has been working as an actor. We’ve probably done over 20 in person auditions and over 30 self tapes. I don’t come from entertainment so this world was new to me. Olivier truly takes his time explaining the process and how to have a successful audition. He has tips and tricks about background and lighting that honestly was a big game changer. We’ve gotten more callbacks! Definitely an investment I am happy about, couldn’t recommend it more.”
“It’s rare to come across someone who is so passionately engaging and who continually sparks creativity in those around them. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Olivier on several projects in various roles over the last 6 years. He’s a natural leader whose portfolio certainly speaks for itself.”

Over a decade ago, I started my career as part of the post-production team for ABC’s hit TV series, Scandal. Shortly after, I leaped into full-time freelance work, directing content in Los Angeles, and collaborating with various agencies and production companies to create high-profile commercials.
As a commercial director, I’ve seen many talented child actors miss out on parts because of mistakes in their auditions.
This 1-hour course contains 10+ years’ worth of industry lessons and insights that can help you empower your child’s acting career.
