The Art & Science of the Self-Tape

Master the 'Junction Point' for Entry into the Industry and Make Your Transition

The self-tape is the only part of the casting process where the actor has any control. One high-quality tape, at the right time and place, has the potential to change both your career and your life…

The Junction Point: Your Time to Shine!

The final junction point / gateway between not being a working professional actor and being one ultimately comes down to the quality of the self-tapes you submit.

It makes no difference who your agent is or which directors you get in front of if you can't consistently come up with the goods. The modern acting business is all about the self-tape - it is your genuine shot at actually landing the gig.

The two and a half hour seminar will introduce you to the philosophy, principles and psychological techniques of great acting and is guaranteed to inspire and show you how to progress to the next level with your craft. 

Why Your Tapes Aren't Booking (And It's Probably Not What You Think)

Casting directors essentially respond to two things - Good acting and the actors own quality of being and presence.

  • The Trap: Trying to be ‘right’ or ‘good’ instead of just ‘being’ the character.
  • The Block: Self-consciousness of your performance with doubt and attachment to the result.
  • The Result: A performance that feels either forced or flat.

Master Your Craft with Active Embodiment Technique

I developed the Active Embodiment to go beyond outdated acting cliches and superficial training. I will give you the tools to quickly analyse and authentically embody both the characters general and immediate a psychology within any scene - allowing you to confidently deliver a compelling and original performance that’s grounded in being and substance, every time.

Simple practical exercises will be introduced to assimilate the basic techniques.
Each session starts with meditation and a reading to help focus your attention

"Honestly, no other training I have done has been as detailed or as clear as this. I strongly recommend this class if you are looking to understand, not just the art of acting and creating characters, but yourself on a deeper level!"
