As a mix of online and in-person casting are here to stay, we wanted to remind you that our dedicated studios are open, offering many different services to help capture your talent! We also have rigorous COVID-19 protocols in place to give you peace of mind so that you can focus on giving your best performance.
Actor on Tape
If you’ve been asked to record an audition or self-tape for a casting director, agent or manager, you can hire our studios at a reduced rate on an hourly basis, for high quality footage.
Working with our experienced camera operators, you can record as many takes as you like within the hour, review the footage, and choose clips to be uploaded to a casting page. You’ll then receive an email with a link to view and download high-res MPEG-4 video files.
You’ll have a private studio complete with camera equipment, lighting, one of our skilled camera operators, and we’ll upload the footage for you. Feel free to bring a friend along if you need someone to read with you!
Bookings are available from Monday to Friday, 10am – 5pm.

Some helpful advice when preparing for your monologue session:
You’ll need to thoroughly prepare your monologue beforehand, like you would for an audition. Know what you want to achieve from the session, be off-book, and ready to go!
We recommend that your monologue is no longer than 3 minutes in length, and if you’ve got an agent, have a chat with them before as they’re likely to provide some great advice for monologue choices that suit your casting type.
