You got the email at 6pm and it’s due Thursday. We got it.
Come tape it here. We’ll light you, frame you, read with you, cut it, and send you the file. You walk in with sides and walk out with an audition tape. IT’s as simple as that.

The Basics
What Is A Self Tape?
A self-tape is the industry standard. Master it with confidence, and learn how to stand out every time.
You get the sides. You get the deadline. But instead of walking into a casting office, you build the room yourself. You choose the frame, find the light, work with a reader, hit record, and send your audition out into the world.
That’s how most auditions happen now. The room barely exists anymore.
It sounds easier. In many ways, it’s harder.
In the room, you had the room. On tape, you’re not only responsible for the performance, you’re responsible for everything surrounding it. The lighting. The sound. The framing. The reader. The pace. All of it has to disappear so the work can come through.
And when casting has hundreds of tapes to watch, you don’t have much time to make them want to keep watching.
A great self-tape doesn’t just capture your performance.
It gives your performance the best chance to be seen.
Self-taping is an industry standard. Master it with confidence and stand out everytime.
The Studio
What You Get When You Tape Here
Real Light
Not a ring light. Lighting that compliments your face.
A Clean Backdrop
Blue, grey, whatever makes you pop
Quality Sound
The one people skip and the one that gets you cut. Bad audio reads as amateur faster than bad acting does.
A Real Reader
An actor, who’s read the scene, who gives you something to play against — not somebody flat-reading the other lines off a phone.
Editing
We cut it, slate it, name the file the way casting asked for, and send it.
You Leave With It
Not in 48 hours. That day.
