Online self-taping for professional actors – weekend intensive (Summer)

All about the course

It's no secret – self tape requests come around often, and when they do, the turnaround is at breakneck speed. This intensive course is a hands-on boost of knowledge to help you approach your next self-tape with confidence and skill. Students will look at a range of screen acting techniques, detailed screenplay analysis, and learn how to create the best quality content for the cheapest budget. You’ll experiment with different camera angles, backgrounds, and learn how your immediate surroundings affect the sound and ambience. In your small group you will receive feedback from your tutor as you reflect on your own work and the work of others. This online course enables you to immediately apply, and put it into practice, your newly honed skills when that e-mail from your agent comes through again!
