Details

The Self Tape is a two week online intensive offering acting techniques and processes for the self tape and Zoom audition forums. If you are looking to break free from the spin cycle of panic, memorize and shoot a thousand times or are curious about gaps in your own process, the Self Tape Study offers a flexible curriculum with ample group and individual coaching sessions. The work focuses on character development, environment, and script analysis, all working towards the simplicity of real and informed play.

You may choose to work on:
– An audition scene – selected from the Dirt’s vast library
– MOW sides – this is really useful
– Revisit an old audition – so good for so many reasons, tough though
– Monologue – the actor must provide the material
5 minute short film creation – with a focus on acting
– *Phone scene, newest addition. Collaborate with a fellow actor on a scene written specifically for the telephone. Each actors shoots a self tape version of either side of the conversation.

The Study includes:
6+ hours of individual coaching, group discussion, and exercises.
Pages and pages of resource and instructional material. 
Access to video lectures on the Study’s approach and concepts.
