5 reasons I'm in love:1) THEY KNOW HOW TO LIGHT DARK SKINNED PEOPLE2) The coaching is good. Not gonna lie was surprised, but the add on is worth... it. It just feels good to have advice through out and actually makes it faster.3) Quick turn around4) If you can swing it, give your roommate/sig other a freaking break. Also, when casting opens up again, you will be prepared to audition in front of someone you do not know. We will no always do tapes at home pants less or with socks on (unless that's your thing)5) THEY KNOW HOW TO LIGHT DARK SKIN. Not all POC are caramel colored. They know this and that's just great. Yes, this makes the list twice. It's rare.read more

I didn't have a good experience unfortunately. Please pay attention at the reviews about Chris at Yelp, if I would have read those I would have never... chose this studio. I am literally shocked. I talked with my group of friends and what happened to me also happened to one of them incredibly, of course not the exact situation but a problem with the same person. Also, you have to be very careful with the webpage, because it's kind of tricky. It allows you to buy a session with "normal hours" price but then they send you an email saying they changed the appointment. That happened to me, and I did not understand so I emailed and texted them asking and they never responded but the appointment was still at the same time, so I attended and at the end of the session they wanted to charge me much more, so I had a surprise. Thing is the reader (who was the kindest) told me, exact words: “you’re right, this happened to another client before; it’s tricky. I apologize, I’m gonna charge you what you clicked on the webpage” so he charged me the "normal hour" price. Then after I left, I received an email from “Chris, Executive Operations” saying that he wasn't going to send me the tape if I did not pay "after hours" price, (of course threatening and playing with the actors' short deadlines). I was like WHAT? This is ridiculous. Also he went super cocky and said he’s been in this business for 20 years, I’ve been working professionally for 15 years, and? What does that mean? Someone should explain why the studio doesn’t respond emails and texts before attending the sessions to be clear when the client has an answer, because when the studio wants to charge you more they respond, curiously, super fast. And why in person the reader charged me a price and then by email when I left the studio wanted to charge more. I never asked for a discount, that was the price I clicked on the website, and the price the reader charged me. But in the end, since "Chris" never even apologized, I told him I wanted the refund, they refunded and deleted my tape, so I had to re tape... I ended up going to another studio where the webpage is very clear, you pay in advance, and no surprises after you finish taping (plus they take more seriously the covid safety). But it was a super uncomfortable situation and waste of time, I would not come back to this place, because the truth is that I felt so bad. Again, pay attention to Yelp reviews.Eva De Dominiciread more

My agent referred me here with the specific remark of, "These guys and gals are pros," and my agent was definitely right. This company operates lean... and clean, with no games or nonsense. You come in, stay ready, you tape, you leave, you get your footage same day. DONE! Their facilities are modern and clean, and the 24/7 security and secured building makes comfortably taping a breeze. -- I've been to other self tape places in living room and/or apartments.. The creation station makes those places look inferior in many ways.read more

Been coming here for 4-5 years and everyone is great. Naive actors with no business experience sometimes hate on these peeps but they keep growing... and are still around and making great self tapes. The best in the game. You’ll notice the actors that complain don’t work much or at all. That says a lot.read more

I will not be returning to this location ever again. This is a one and done. A couple of red flags to mention. You can't communicate with this... business unless it's over text message and email (No Calling, who does business like this ?), they changed my location less than an hour before my appointment time via text while I was driving (not even a courtesy call) (I booked their West Los Angeles location but was moved to Burbank), the reader was 7 mins late to the appointment however, he was actually the best part of this whole experience after he warned me that his own employer is "Stingy" (his words, huge red flag) and lastly they doubled the price of my session without warning. Keep in mind their website is extremely difficult to maneuver. You would think that on a holiday their messaging would be crystal clear about a price increase. There was no warning upon booking and in fact, I received multiple emails confirming the normal price quotes. Then when I was invoiced and I explained my confusion over the major price hike, I was met with resistance and hostility. (Similar to the negative responses you see from them on this review site) You would think that they would try to help a first time client and sympathize with them, that maybe it was human error... but no. I am hesitant to write this review because they have displayed aggressive and unprofessional behavior towards anyone that writes a bad review, going as far as to threaten their careers. However, I'm still so agitated by what happened that I want to protect fellow actors from spending their money on this type of business. To anyone that reads this, it's better to record yourself on tape than to go to these guys.read more

I had the most bizarre and unprofessional experience this morning with the manager, Chris. So much so that I decided to cancel my appointment.I... was unable to find where to submit my sides on their website, via my iPhone. I sent the studio a text to ask for their assitance. Received something along the lines of “It’s in the confirmation email and on the top of the website.”I tried two different browsers on my iPhone and could not find this tab at the top of their website. I was able to go back to the confirmation email and copy and paste the link to submit my sides.I let the manager know that I was able to figure it out but that there was not a spot at the top of their website on iPhone anyway, that I had to manually copy and paste the link to get where I needed to be. I thought he might want to be aware for future clients.Conversation should have and would have ended there with a normal/professional person. But rather, this person continued to send passive aggressive screen shots from his non-iPhone (green text messages) to prove to me that there was in fact a spot at the top of the website on a mobile phone.This is the morning of my audition, and I really don’t need to have a petty back and forth with the manager. I want to focus on my audition. The petty texts ensued and it was the strangest interaction I have ever had with someone providing a service. As any actor can attest to, you kind of want a good vibe going when you go in for a read. This was not that!Yikes.read more
