What They Say…

Terry Mayo

I thought the Self-Tape 7 day course was brilliant! There was lots of really good and helpful training information provided. The scripts were super fun and I enjoyed the variation in the scripts too. Sarah provided awesome support throughout the program. A big “thank you” to Sarah. The web page for the course was easy to navigate. It also promoted a group atmosphere amongst the participants. That was wonderful. I feel like I’ve come a long way in such a short time thanks to this course. I totally recommend this!

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.

Before taking this self-tape course, I was an absolute amateur! There are many key elements to consider when doing a self-tape that I never thought about before. This course is highly interactive with awesome and helpful classmates too, which makes it even better because we all help each other out along the way. Not to mention the coach is right there with you the whole time. My videos went from amateur to professional looking in only 7 days! I would absolutely recommend this course to a friend, it’s 100% worth it.

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!
