How to Self-Tape

This self tape audition course takes you from the moment the sides arrive to the moment you hit send. In six step-by-step lessons you will prepare the scene, work with a reader, record a clean slate and strong takes, then edit, name and submit your self-tape on time.

• The slate: what to say and when
• Recording two or three takes, and choosing the best one
• Editing, exporting and naming the file

A Repeatable Self Tape Audition Routine

Actors who book from self-tapes follow the same routine every time. This course gives you that routine, built from more than 10,000 self tapes recorded at The Creation Station Studios. Once it is a habit, every audition takes less time and less stress.

Before You Start

You will get the most from this course if your setup is ready. If it is not, take How to Set Up a Self-Tape first. You will also need a reader. A friend works, or book a virtual reader.
