Taping Auditions - Zoom Callbacks

OK, the acting industry has slowed down and we are near a complete stand still with the upcoming possible SAG-AFTRA strike. Auditions have disappeared, callbacks are rare gold, and it is very possible many of us have already gotten rusty. IF we do strike and our industry goes completely silent, we have to stay sharp. That means different things for all of us - take time off/clear your mind, take a new acting class, update our actors access materials, or anything you feel like you need to be ready when we climb out of this difficult season. Selftapes have become a wonderful ally for actors and they are here to stay. (Not sure what our union is pushing for regarding self-tape rules but I don't see a thing wrong with taping on your own time) Actors can now live where they want and be able to get their selftapes in to casting without needing to be in the room. TV & Film auditions will come back in a big way when all of this is resolved. Let's stay sharp! Reach out to me if you simply want to collaborate, talk about an actors access consultation, shoot a scene for your reel, OR anything at all related to an acting career. I would love to chat! #selftapes #auditions #aplacetotape #actortraining #actingcoach #auditiontechnique #oncamera #selftapesnearme #audition #actors #losangeles #westla #selftapestudio

Mental Health & Acting

I'll start by saying, for each of us , the most important part of our overall health is our mental health. Without it, we'll be lucky to have any success in any area of our lives. Especially as an actor - this career takes so much grit, drive, and positivity. So, take care of your mind and it will take care of the rest.

And when we are challenged with emotional roller coasters of life, we have to talk to someone - anyone that will listen...you can't keep that shit balled up inside. It will in fact, make you sick.

I say all this to let you know that we all need an outlet/someone we can trust to share these things with. As someone who loves acting and working with actors, I don't just offer self-taping and reading for you....I offer myself as a friend & empathetic ear if you need to unload some things off your mind when you are here taping with me.

My first actor that booked a taping session here, she walked in and one of the first things she said was "Life is really hard and I'm not doing so well".....Her 45 minute booked taping session resulted in great tapes but we also spent an hour talking, sharing personal challenges (the career challenges are always there), and by the end, becoming pals. That's the type of environment I have created and the type of person I am. I'm here for more than just helping you book a role, I'd like us to support and lift each other up as we maneuver this wild and unpredictable career. #auditions #friends #actors #selftape #selftapestudio #westLA #aplacetotape
