3. The Session
All In-Studio & Online Self-Tape Coaching sessions include a female reader with coaching notes and exercises tailored to your needs. These are designed to bring out your unique essence and elevate your performance by deeply understanding your scenes, fine-tuning your character, and strengthening camera technique specific to auditioning. The scenes and slate are recorded in HD 1080p using professional lighting and microphone and can be reviewed via instant playback. The files are edited & transferred on-the-spot via WeTransfer to yourself and your agent. Online sessions via Zoom are professionally coached while you record your scenes and slate using your set-up or simply for rehearsals. Zoom callback sessions allocate 20min for rehearsal time and logging in to your Zoom account. Live-stream your callback reading with your coach/reader or the casting director on the screen opposite.

FAQ quick guide
Do I need to provide a reader?
No, all In-Studio & Online Self-Tape Coaching sessions include a female reader. This is the case for In-Studio Zoom Callback's although casting usually reads for these sessions.
​
How many projects/scenes can I work on?
There is no limit to the amount of projects/scenes you can work on however depending on the session time booked and amount of prep needed during your session a rough guideline is 1-3 scenes per hour session for a lead/supporting role or series regular/recurring/guest star role, or 1-2 scenes per 45min session for a principal role, co-star role, or commercials.
​
Can I add time during my session?
Once you're in session if time permits, additional time can be added in 15min blocks and is billed at 15min of the services regular hourly rate and added to an invoice.
​
Do self-tape coaching sessions include file edit & transfer?
All In-Studio Self-Tape Coaching sessions include file edit & transfer. Some actors prefer to use the edit time for coaching and then edit files at home post-session. Although file edit & transfer is available for Online Self-Tape Coaching sessions via screen recording it not recommended as the final image quality is low. Online sessions are usually recorded and edited by the actor.
​
When are files sent?
Approximately 5min/scene is allocated toward the end of the session for file editing & transferred during the session time.
