Frequently asked questions

A self-tape is a video audition you record yourself, usually at home, reading a scene from sides a casting director sent you, then submitting the recording instead of auditioning in person. Most film, TV, and commercial auditions now start with a self-tape, so being able to rehearse and record one cleanly matters as much as how you play the scene.

Upload your PDF sides, choose the character you're reading, and start your rehearsal. Every other role in the scene is read aloud like a real scene partner so you can respond naturally, your own lines follow along on screen as you go, and your camera records a self-tape while you work through it. When you're happy with a take, download it from My Account and submit it for your audition.
