If you are new to self-taping, or simply want to learn how to make a better, more competitive audition tape from your home, then this academy is for you. Join us on Zoom, and take your acting and taping to the next level with weekly Zoom classes & Coach’s Corner – Weekly Coaching & Feedback Sessions with Angela.

It’s 2023, and almost all auditions for on-camera jobs (short films, student films, feature films, commercials, etc.) are self-tapes. Especially for the initial audition. Callbacks tend to happen over Zoom, so either way, today’s actor needs to know how to set up their “at-home taping studio,” and provide excellent auditions at a moment’s notice.

Back in the “old days” (before the pandemic), actors would attend live auditions, where casting directors would put them on tape, giving redirection (notes) between each take. Feedback received from casting directors would often improve an actor’s performance, and lead to a much better second take. In today’s casting environment (self-taping), the actor does not receive any feedback between takes, and is also responsible for all of the technical aspects of lighting, taping and delivery. It’s a lot for an actor to manage, and it’s the reason we created this Academy in 2020 – To empower the actor and teach them how to stand out during self-tapes and virtual auditions.
