New! How To Create Self-Tapes That Book! 2-Week Online Class with Brette Goldstein, Casting Director

Wednesday, January 26, 2022, 2pm ET / 11am PT

Self-tapes are here to stay for the foreseeable future, and casting virtually has provided Brette with a unique perspective on what makes a tape stand out (in the best way possible).

In the first week of this class, you'll share a self-tape of your choice (2-3 page film/TV scene) for review.

Brette will provide individual feedback on best setup/framing practices, how to “pop” on screen, physically and energetically, and tips for good slates.

In week two, Brette will assign everyone sides to prepare a self-tape with the adjustments and feedback from week one to share in class.

You'll come out of this class feeling confident in your self-taping skills and your ability to leave a lasting impression.

For your second class, Brette will select sides for you to prepare in advance and self-tape based on your headshot and fully completed MY INFO section in your AC account. You will share this in class.
