Tired of silence? Get the feedback you deserve to know. What does Casting see when they watch your tape?
You’re making the right move: If you’re here, you already know "good" isn’t the issue. Looking critically at the first 10 seconds of your tape is how you move toward tapes that get casting to see your work fully and keep inviting you back. Here's what I'd like to share with you from my experience on the other side of the process and as a working actor:
1. Your tape is "The Room" now.
Roughly 85% of auditions today are self-tapes. For most actors, a tape is the one chance to be seen. And casting often stops watching after about 10 seconds.
2. What I see
When I coach actors in LA, I see years of training, strong scene work, and tapes that are good. And yet, somewhere in the first 10 seconds, I still can’t tell who I’m watching.
3. The question this workshop answers
Picture two actors with the same scene, the same words, the same read on paper. One gets watched to the end and the other doesn’t. What’s different about them?
4. The evening
We watch the openings of the tapes people send in, and look at what a viewer actually picks up. Three actors get live coaching to re-tape the scene, so you see the change in the room. Send a tape by Nov 10, or just show up and learn!
Details
We believe in accessibility. For every actor you refer who registers, you get $10 back. Refer three and your full ticket is refunded.
Click "Book Now" to reserve your spot.
If you want in on the tape submissions, get yours in early. The first 3 are the ones who re-tape. Deadline for self-tape submissions is Nov. 10.
