After we've discussed your needs - time / day / session length - I'll send over a booking confirmation over email which will have all the details about the session and what to expect, along with a map of the location and and info sheet with everything you need to know.
I always try to cater the sessions around you and how you like to work. Usually, after we've met, we'll talk about the scene(s) that you need to do and work out if there are any tricky sections such as movement, scene transitions, prop work etc. We'll then run through the scene(s) and do a line run before we start filming.
This is totally up to you! Most self tape sessions last for around 1 hour, so the initial booking is always for a slot of up to one hour. If you feel like you might need more time, just let me know at the time of booking.
My studio is always set up and ready to go, so if you do have a last-minute self tape, I'll always try to help. However, sometimes I am just not available due to other commitments or showreel filming.
I will always to my best to accommodate you and your self tape deadline. I can get very booked up during the day, but I also offer evening sessions 'out of hours' for an additional $40 per session.
You can do as many takes as you need at your session. However, I always advise that you arrive as prepared as possible, so that we're not doing countless takes. That way we can focus on quality over quantity.
Of course! Some actors love watching their takes back and feel that it improves their performance for the next take, others absolutely hate it. It's totally up to you. Please do keep in mind that any reviewing of takes will use up session time.
Certainly! I'm more than happy to provide suggestions and ideas to ensure you make the most out of your self-tape session. Drawing from my own experience as an actor, I enjoy delving into the text and uncovering any hidden nuances or subtleties that may enhance your performance. Together, we can explore different approaches and bring out the best in your performance.

No, unfortunately not.
Any props you might want to use in your self tape must be provided by you.
I will be your reader! As an actor myself, I am confident reading in with actors and having done so for the past 8 years, I feel well-equipped to provide you with a good read off-camera.
Yes, of course. This is totally fine.
All tapes are colour corrected and graded for skin tone and lighting.
