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.

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 strongly recommend this course for anyone interested in pursuing a career in front of a camera – (either full time or as a hobby.) I took the course hoping to improve my self-taping technological skills. I learned so much about the technology, that was great. But even better, it was fun! It was great getting feedback from the other participants. But the best part was Sarah’s teaching style. As a teacher myself, I have strong feelings about teaching styles. Sarah is warm, caring, and so positive. And she doesn’t balk at suggesting ways in which a student can improve… but she does it in such a way, that students want to do it better. Sarah is a great teacher and she really helped to make the course fun and instructive.

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!

Thank you so much Sarah for providing this amazing Workshop.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course that Sarah provided for us.  I found the interaction with the other students and the feedback that everyone gives back to each other on your daily Takes is really beneficial and it made me work better on the areas I needed to work on.

I gained so much more confidence to now act in front of the camera and it was fun too.
Thank you so much Sarah for providing this amazing Workshop.
