“Thank you, Chris, for such an insightful and worthwhile workshop.I walked away not only with practical tools to strengthen my self tapes and auditions, but also with a renewed confidence in my work as an actor. Your feedback was honest, encouraging, and incredibly valuable, and I appreciated how generously you shared your own experiences from the industry.
The workshop was welcoming, professional, and challenged me to think more deeply about the craft. It’s an experience I’ll carry with me into future auditions and on-set opportunities. I’d highly recommend Chris’ workshop to actors looking to continue growing both creatively and professionally.“ Sarah Rogers
“Chris’ workshop was an incredibly worthwhile experience. The session was insightful, practical, and led with genuine care and professionalism. The opportunity to perform, receive thoughtful feedback, and explore the industry in such a supportive environment gave me valuable insights that I will carry into future auditions and on set opportunities.
Additionally, Chris’ experience in the casting and self Taping process and as an actor and coach provided a uniquely positioned perspective that positively influenced my training. I highly recommend this workshop to actors at any stage of their career who are looking to develop their craft.” Ryan Hiscock
"My name is Tarni Peepe and I was able to attend the self tape workshop with Chris and found it extremely valuable!
I was able to learn not only the basics of self tape set up, but also lots of tips and tricks on what catches casting directors attention with the way you approach self tapes.
I was able to walk away feeling more confident in my self taping skills and received personalised feedback 🙌🏽" Tarni Peepe
This workshop is for actors, who have had prior training. I will be sharing tips, secrets, and techniques that I use when taping and working on set. I will provide examples and specific tools for the actors who join this workshop. I will use quality material, keep the group small and limit attendance to strong actors or those with strong potential. If you would like to join, I will expect you to complete tasks, and I will send material to watch before the workshop.
Everyone will be sent a scene before the workshop to prepare.
The Day will be broken into 2 components:
The Morning : The Self Tape single camera. (2 hours)
The Afternoon : The Set Experience, small set type environment to simulate the set environment (3-3.5 hours)
