01— Scene Analysis
-
We will begin with scene analysis, clarifying beats, objectives, relationships and exploring the subtext of a scene you will be working on as well as acting the scene out without taping just yet (this session can be skipped if you prefer to jump straight into self tape analysis)
02 — Record your scene -
You will record your first tape separately after first scene analysis class and send it over to us.
03 — Make adjustments -
We will jump back on a second call for feedback seeing what worked and what we can explore further
04 — Develop your craft -
After this you will re-tape once more. We review the new performance and you receive detailed feedback, including a written report when part of your coaching package for the tape.

🎯 How to Prepare & Make the Most of Your Self-Tape Session
To walk away with a self-tape you’re truly happy with, preparation is key — not just with your lines, but with your mindset.
Here’s how to set yourself up for success:
-
Know your lines – Be off-book so you can focus on the performance, not the words.
-
Understand the scene – Know who you are, what you want, and the emotional beats of the moment.
-
Research the tone – Consider the genre and the style of performance (e.g., grounded drama vs. heightened comedy).
-
Make clear choices – come in with strong intentions and a point of view for your character.
-
Practice on camera – Rehearse with your phone or laptop to get comfortable with framing and stillness.
-
Dress simply & appropriately – Choose clothing that suggests the character without being a costume.
-
Warm up your voice and body – Arrive ready to drop in physically and emotionally.
-
Be open to direction – The second take is about growth; flexibility will help you elevate your performance.
-
Don’t chase perfection – Aim for connection, truth, and presence — not robotic polish.
-
Arrive early & stay engaged – Use the time to observe others, reflect, and stay in the creative zone.
