SELF-TAPE REVIEW

You put in the work. You taped it yourself. But before you send it to your reps or submit it to casting... Is this your best take? Did you miss anything? Could it be leveled up?

BLS's Self-Tape Review gives you a professional read on your performance, not from a friend, not from your gut, but from a working Los Angeles acting coach who has spent over 10,000 hours in the room with actors breaking down exactly this kind of material.

Send over your audition breakdown, sides and self-tape. Braden starts with the pages, examining the scene, the character, the stakes, and what casting is likely looking for. Then he'll watch your tape with all of that in mind. From there, you'll get on a call together (phone or video) for a focused, ~10-minute session where Braden will walk you through exactly what's landing, what isn't, and what to apply for your next pass.

No vague encouragement. No line readings. Just clear, honest, actionable feedback, just like you'd get in a private coaching.

How It Works

What You'll Walk Away With

A concrete understanding of what's working in your performance and why, what may be undercutting it, and specific adjustments you can make immediately. Whether you retape or send what you have, you'll submit with clarity instead of doubt.

Put your best foot forward by putting in the right kind of work at home with the BLS Acting Book Know Your Scenes.

To film with Braden, visit Self-Taping.

*Total time for Braden to review the breakdown, sides, and tape, as well as the phone/video call with you.

Do I have to be in Los Angeles?

No. The review and follow-up call can be done entirely online, so actors anywhere can use this service.

Will Braden tell me whether to resubmit or send what I have?

He won't make that call for you, but you'll leave the session with enough clarity to make that decision yourself.

How is a self-tape review different from private coaching or audition prep?

Audition prep is for working the scene before you tape. Private coaching is broader ongoing training. A self-tape review is specifically for after you've taped your audition. It's a fast, focused read on your finished performance before it goes out.
