Pro Actor
Pro Reader
Each booking guarantees a reader who has worked professionally in this industry, either as an actor or director.
Our readers become your favorite scene partner, and a guiding voice if you want some direction.
To see our roster of readers, click through to our About Us page.
We Edit
We Deliver
Our bookings include editing and delivery of your tapes before you leave the door!
Within your booking time, our readers will edit your tapes either as a single file or multiple files depending on your audition needs. Each file will be a small file to meet industry standard delivery requirements. Then, they'll email it to you and any of your managers or agents through Hightail or WeTransfer.*
*Requests to upload tapes directly to a casting site (ie. Casting Networks, Actors Access, etc.) will be charged a 5% fee.
Quality
Equipment
Make your selftapes stand out with beautiful lighting, quality images, and clean audio. Each one of our studios is equipped with professional-grade camera, lighting, and audio gear to help put your best foot forward. Our readers are trained to operate the camera with you as you go.
Props
To you
Every now and then, an audition asks for a little something to set the scene. Fear not, we have it. Each of our studios is equipped with various props to bring that extra bit of realism to your tapes.
Please note: while each location has a lot of props, we can not guarantee that each location will have the exact props you need.
Prompter
included
Don't you love how SAG fought for longer turnaround times, but somehow the audition you just got is due tomorrow?
Yeah, we don't either.
That's why our bookings include the use of a teleprompter for those times you need to focus on the emotions and not the memorization.
Our prompter can be mounted on the side as a "scene partner" or under the camera for direct-to-camera audition. Simply email your sides to files@selftape.com or Airdrop them to us when you arrive.
Cancellation & Change Policy
When you book, you are booking a duration and a time slot. All cancellation and change requests to your booking and time slot must be sent to info@selftape.com. You must give us at least a 12-hour notice for any cancellations or changes in order to receive a refund of your deposit. If you request a time slot change within this window, you will be subjected to an additional $25 fee. This process is to ensure that the time slot you booked can be opened and available to others who may need to book at that time.
File delivery Policy
We deliver all files to you and as many emails as you'd like (ie. managers, agents, etc.) through Hightail. We can also deliver through WeTransfer at no fee. If you would like us to upload your files to a casting website (i.e. Casting Networks, Actors Access, etc.), we will do so, provided we can do it during your session, and it will come at a 5% fee.
