Because we created the studio for you. We have had the great fortune to tape literally thousands of auditions. We are a studio of actors and our goal is to give you the highest professional product at a price that won't break the bank. Plus you pay when you book because we don’t tack on fees at the end of your session. You deserve a chance to achieve your dreams without going broke, and when our clients book jobs from our tapes we truly feel as excited for them as we would for ourselves.

-A session reader for all the other lines in your audition and of course all the stuff to light, tape, and record your audition. Sorry, you can’t bring your own reader / coach or have them FaceTime in, and we aren’t able to honor gender requests for readers.

-We send up to 2 takes per scene for each audition. Additional takes may be added for $5 per take. We don’t send unedited or raw files and you can’t bring your own SD card or flash drive.

-Editing and transmission of finished tape to your email via WeTransfer within 2 hours of session end. If you need your tape faster than our normal turnaround time just leave the last 10 minutes of your session for us to edit and send for no extra charge! We don’t send finished tapes to casting, your reps, or upload to casting sites.

Yes, we do that! We will do a maximum of 3-looks per 30-minutes session, with a max of 2 takes per look. As a tip, keep in mind what you'd like your SlateShots to communicate. We think it's wise to have at least one solid versatile theatrical SlateShot and one solid commercial SlateShot. Other things to consider are specific character typings for shows/projects you might try to target (i.e. medical, procedural, guy/girl next door, edgy, etc.). The more specific you can be with character SlateShots, the better. Introducing yourself is great, having a specific key phrase for a specific character slate is better :)

We can do that for you! Exported as MP3 and compressed. Recorded on a shotgun microphone. Please note that our finished tape will be perfect for audition quality, NOT for a finished and engineered production quality tape.
