Self-Tape For Dummies Tutorial

May 12 @ 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm EDT

All Ages | Monday, May 12 | 8-9 PM ET | Cost 75.00

Don’t miss this amazing informative tutorial on Zoom with professional TV/Film & Broadway Actor, & one of our all time favorite private Coaches, Sean Patrick Doyle!

Self-tape auditions come in fast and furious and the deadline is often so quick that you don’t have the time, or the budget, to hire a coach.

It’s imperative all professional actors, (and parents of minor performers), know how to make a professional, homemade self-tape audition from home!

In our hour-long lecture, we will review actual self-tape samples and will include information on eye-line, framing, slating (including how to edit together a side by side slate with full body image), and how to create a travel-friendly set-up!

There will also be time for a Q&A.

Focus of Class:
Review actual, professional self-tape samples
Learn about eye-line, framing & slating
Learn how to edit together a side by side slate w/ a full body image
Info on how to create a travel-friendly set-up
Q&A
