Join the Workshop

"Larry Andries is a great writer, a great producer, and a great teacher. His credits are a sight to behold, and you'd be hard pressed to name anyone with his experience willing to share his insights with the rest of us mere mortals. Also, I've seen him kill a bear at 200 yards with nothing but his wit and self-effacing charm. You're in for a fun class."
Jon Lucas, Co-Writer
"The Hangover", "Four Christmases", "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past"

"Not only is Larry Andries an absolutely top notch writer, creator and Executive Producer, he's always had an extraordinary ability and willingness to share his hard earned expertise with up-and-coming artists. There are many Hollywood professionals working today who owe their careers in no small measure to Larry's inspirational mentorship."
Daniel Petrie Jr., Writer/Producer/Director
Academy Award Nominee, Best Original Screenplay, "Beverly Hills Cop"

"Larry is a brilliant writer and producer whom I've known for over a decade. He is a natural leader and teacher, a great listener and communicator with a wealth of experience and, that rarest of qualities in Hollywood, an enormous heart."
Chrstopher Gorham, Actor
"Ugly Betty", "Harpers Island", "Jake 2.0", "Medical Investigation"

"Throughout the years, Larry Andries has helped me develop several projects. He has the amazing ability of putting the screenwriter's jargon into simple layman's terms that anyone can understand, even us actors. Larry's love and passion for what he does is both genuine and infectious. His sharing of the knowledge he's gained throughout the years has given me a realistic understanding of how to obtain my other dreams, like directing features."
Clifton Collins Jr., Actor
"Star Trek", "The Perfect Game", "Traffic", "Capote"

"Join The Workshop provided me with an opportunity to meet industry professionals on an intimate level. I've done plenty of acting workshops in the past but I've never been given the kind of access and support I found in this particular one. First off, I loved having two days instead of one. It added a whole new level to those basic one-day workshops I'm more used to. I think what I enjoyed most was working with real network scripts and fine-tuning the tools needed to be comfortable in the audition room. I learned more about being a professional actor in these two days than I have on any set I've worked on!"
Karen Anderson, Actor

"Simply put, I attended this workshop, two days later I booked a job. I'm not saying I'll book every audition from now on but I am saying I'll audition with serious confidence every time!"
Jess Weber, Actor

"This isn't a class, it's an experience. This is hands on, hard core audition day in and day out. Want to learn from people who understand this business? Join this workshop! Thanks Larry, Doug and Craig!"
Tom Michael Patrick, Actor

"Fantastic! These guys get it. They respect the actor. They encourage the process and they build confidence and comfort like I've never seen. I wish it was a week and not just a weekend!"
Jared Worzak, Actor

"I'm far from a professional actress, but I really love acting and I've always been excited by this business. I came in to this workshop questioning if I really wanted to dive in and pursue it full time. I'm leaving this workshop knowing I do! Thanks guys for giving me the courage to chase my passion! And away I go!"
Samantha Clark, Actor

Here's what people are saying about Tim O'Shei's "Live! Starring… You!" workshops and books:

"Live Starring...You! is one powerful package. The book lets young people escape to the world of bright lights to see what it takes to be famous and what the lives of their favorite celebrities might look like behind the scenes. Combined with professional, fun, and interactive workshops, the possibilities for children are endless. I wish I could have had this kind of coaching and advice when I was starting out. And having Tim O'Shei   one of the most genuine, knowledgeable, and connected people in this business   working one-on-one with each child, accounts for why these workshops are so successful and why the kids have such a blast!"
– Molly McKinney, host of the Emmy- and Telly- winning TV show "Aqua Kids"

"I completely love the book — a unique perspective on a seemingly one-dimensional world. I like that this book strips away the celebrity and the megastar and simply leaves you with a person not unlike any other person. Exceptionally accurate, perfect pace, fun read."
– Lindsey Shaw, Kat on ABC Family's "10 Things I Hate About You"

"Tim O'Shei's workshops have been some great experiences. Through the workshops, I have been able to meet new people while learning new skills and having fun. I can't wait to see what else it to come."
– Lauren Kirchmyer, dancer

"Tim O'Shei's workshop with Heather Morris from 'Glee' was truly a great way to spend time learning as well as having a blast. I had a ton of fun, made new friends, and new opportunities have risen for me since the workshop. I'd do it again in a heartbeat!"
– Garrett Shea, singer/songwriter

"The outcome from the workshop was more than we could have ever anticipated. My daughter learned that even if you come from a small town, you can still pursue your dreams — they can come true. Thank you for opening up a whole new world for Melissa."
– Tracy Keller, mother of 16-year-old Melissa

"It was really awesome, and I will look forward to attending more of these workshops. I would definitely recommend these workshops to anyone interested in the entertainment business."
– Melissa Keller, age 16
