The rise of self-taping has changed the audition process, but many working actors in our region are finding it to be burdensome, exhausting, and sometimes downright confusing. If you’ve ever felt frustrated or overwhelmed by the demands of self-tapes, you’re not alone. That’s why we’re hosting the Self-Tape Solutions Mixer—a space for actors to come together, share experiences, and collaborate on solutions to make the self-taping process smoother and more sustainable.

During this interactive mixer, actors will have the opportunity to voice their concerns, discuss common challenges, and brainstorm practical strategies that can make self-taping more efficient and less stressful. Our goal is to develop a set of Self-Tape Standards or Ideals—a shared set of best practices that we can present to local talent agents and casting directors, ensuring that the voices of actors are heard and their needs are addressed.

Whether you’re struggling with lighting, sound, tech issues, or the overwhelming pressure to nail a performance on your own, this event is designed to foster collaboration and problem-solving in a supportive, community-driven environment.

Join us for a chance to connect with fellow actors, share your insights, and be part of an important conversation that could shape the future of self-taping in our industry.
