7 Day Self Tape Academy

From the first day I felt inspired and compelled to work

Sarah Valentine has put together a comprehensive and enjoyable self-tape academy. From the first day I felt inspired and compelled to work at the lessons given and learn the skill. Sharing my self-tapes with her and her colleague Johanna and all the other students in the academy has been a simple and honest way of improving the craft. Thank you so much Sarah for teaching me this valuable skill!

I really enjoyed taking this course. I gained so much experience and learned so much from it. It helped me with learning to audition and to understand the directors point of view. I learned to be more expressive, which is something I don’t normally do. I think this course will help people have a much better chance to get the role on the audition because you know what you have to do with acting, editing and even filming set up. I would recommend people to take this course if they want to step up their game on acting front.

It was a great experience and I learned a lot.

I had so much fun with this course! It was a great experience and I learned a lot. It was nice watching  everyone and getting positive feedback, which wants you to improve more.
Thank you everyone and especially Sarah! You are a great mentor!

A course everyone should take!

The Self Tape Academy has been a welcoming and warm place to venture into ourselves. Learning daily techniques has helped me to progress towards taking further steps to an acting career. Everyone was so welcoming and nice. Sarah was with us every step of the way with positive feedback, and dropping gems to us about the industry itself. This is a course I believe everyone should take, YOU WONT REGRET IT!

I really enjoyed this course. I am one of those people that THINK they know it all. I thought I knew what a casting person would want form a self-tape. Boy was I off! I got great tips and feedback from Sarah and the rest of the class. Very satisfying to see your last self-tape compared to your first one. I now feel confident that I can deliver a quality self-tape that will help me nail that next gig! I would recommend you take this every actor, even if you THINK you know what you are doing. Thank you Sarah.

The 7 day self tape challenge is a great tool for introducing the art of self-tape to beginner actors who are looking to take on more auditions, as well as allowing intermediate actors to practice their methods so that they can gain more confidence in their methods and acting abilities. Be it an aspiring actor or a newcomer looking to enter the entertainment industry, this course allows you to gain confidence and the ability to put the best audition self tape that the individual can so that they have the best chances of succeeding.

The support I got from other students were amazing

You build a connection with the other students and they’re very supportive.

This course was amazing! Sarah is so kind and helpful. She provides a lot of useful information and I’m incredibly grateful for her advice. She’s wonderful!! You build a connection with the other students and they’re very supportive. You gain a lot of confidence. It’s a beautiful experience, one I’ll never forget.

wow did I learn lots!

I always saw adverts for doing self tape courses, but I never really thought it was that important to know how to do them, so I never took them. But then I recently had to start preparing self tapes for auditions, and decided it wouldn’t hurt to try check one out and see what more I could learn. And wow did I learn lots! For me I feel like I knew some of the basics already, but this course actually helped me fine tune those skills, and understand what casting directors actually look for in self tapes. It also helped me practice acting in front of a camera so close to my face. From my first tape in this course to my last, I can definitely see and feel a difference in my ability to deliver.
