What Is the 7 Day Self Tape Challenge?
The Self Tape Academy has created a number of online courses designed to help actors be on top of their game. The 7 day self tape challenge is designed for students 18 and over.
First you’ll learn the basics of doing a great self tape and then every day during the 7 days you’ll learn a new script, shoot your self-tape, upload it to the academy and share it with me or an academy tutor.
How Does The 7 Day Self Tape Challenge Work?
*YOU MIGHT NEED HELP IF YOU ARE NOT TECH SAVVY.
You will need a phone or some sort of recording device, and you will need to learn how to light your room, shoot a video and then upload an MP4 file.
On Day 1 you learn how to use our platform and record your first introduction self-tape and you will receive your first script.
Then at midnight each day, you will receive a new script and a place to upload your video from the day before.
Each day you will:
Learn a new script
Shoot and edit your video
Upload to the Academy
Repeat for 7 days or take up to 3 months to complete. Totally up to you
What kind of material will I receive?
Each day you’ll receive a different scene/script, as well as tips, tricks, and resources along the way.
Why should I do this course?
You will become more skilled as an actor, get feedback and end up with a skill that will last a lifetime and potentially get you the role of your dreams.
Best of all you will have a lot of fun doing it!

I loved participating in doing this self tape course. I got to learn a lot and got a lot of help from the comments and suggestions from the other participants. I really enjoyed it!
Sebastian Hunter
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.
Georgia Wilshire
I would highly recommend this course to anyone! If you’re wanting to improve your knowledge and confidence in front of the camera, pick up a few tips and ticks on how to nail your self tapes, then this course is for you. This course provides a friendly and safe environment where you’re able to receive feedback on what you’re doing well at and tips on how to make your auditions even better! I found that even over a week, my confidence and knowledge in front of a camera has improved dramatically and want to thank Sarah for providing an environment in which this is possible to achieve – in such a short time frame.
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!
Hiram Garcia
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.
Francois Rene du Toit
From this course, I learned everything that I didn’t know I needed to know about self-taping. I would highly recommend this course to anyone likely to make a self-tape anytime soon.
Budsaba Keopraserth
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.
Patti Clark
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.
