1:1 Tape Session

Bring a live audition. We break it down, run takes, and get it to the finish.
Self-tape coaching from a working actor
The two words every actor wants back from their agent. I'll help you tape so that's what you hear.
Every job below started as an audition. Getting from audition to booking is what I teach.
Television
I've booked recurring and guest roles across US network, cable, and streaming, and the BBC using self-tape auditions. The tape has to show an actor gets the tone of the show before they've said a line.
The Middle · Criminal Minds · Platonic · Shameless · NCIS · The Mentalist · Torchwood
Commercials
National campaigns, where an actor gets seconds on a slate and one take to land a brand's tone. The fastest, harshest training in how casting decides.
Progressive · Audi · KFC · Old Spice · Dr Pepper · Southwest · Chevy · Walmart · Uber Eats · DraftKings
Most tapes don't miss on talent. They miss on choices, and the small craft decisions that tell a casting director they can relax. This works for TV, film, and commercial tapes alike.
Upload the scenes and the brief. I read them before we meet.
Objective, stakes, and the one specific choice only you would make.
We run it live. Frame, eyeline, reader, pace. You record at home as we go.
We pick the strongest take together, so you can send it to your agent on time.
All sessions run online, on Google Meet or Zoom, so you can tape from wherever your ring light lives. Prices in GBP.
Bring a live audition. We break it down, run takes, and get it to the finish.
Already taped? Send it over and get a 5–10 minute video or voice note back within a day.
A three-week, small-group course on taping as a craft. You tape between sessions, and in week three we watch and note every actor's tape together.
Agencies: a 2.5-hour workshop for up to 14 actors on your roster, on Zoom or in person, from £650. Book a call about dates.
The List
Sides to Send course dates go to The List before anywhere else, and places go fast at eight a group. You'll also be first to hear when there's a sale on, plus the odd short note from the audition world. Never more than once a month.

(after watching the tape)
There are levels to acting and taping. The level this exists at is not taught anywhere. It makes our job as agents easy when we see someone do it in such a way that it's like, I've got no notes.
Real feedback from a UK agent, September 2026
Your coach
I'm an American actor based in the UK. I've spent the proverbial 10,000 hours in audition rooms: over a decade of TV casting, with recurring roles on The Middle and Criminal Minds and work on Platonic, Shameless, and Torchwood, plus national commercial campaigns for brands like Progressive, Audi, KFC, and Old Spice.
Commercial casting is fast. You get seconds on a slate and one take to land a tone. Hundreds of those rooms taught me exactly what a casting director is looking for, and how quickly they decide.
I trained at CalArts (MFA), I'm a member of both SAG-AFTRA and Equity, and I'm still auditioning on both sides of the Atlantic. What I teach is what I do: read the scene for what it needs, make one clear choice, and deliver a tape that's tight and easy to watch.

A phone or camera, a plain backdrop, a window or a light, and a laptop for the video call. We'll sort the frame in the first five minutes.
Yes. Commercial tapes are their own skill: the slate, the profiles, the improv, hitting a brand tone in one take. I've booked national campaigns for Progressive, Audi, KFC, and Old Spice, and I coach commercial tapes the same way I tape them.
Yes, during a session I read the other parts while you record. I don't offer reader-only bookings.
No. I coach the scene and the tape. If a role needs dialect work, I'll point you to a dialect coach.
Book the next open slot, or send a finished tape for Tape Notes. I turn those around within 24 hours.
Reschedule free from your confirmation email, up to 24 hours before. If no new time works, cancel by then for a full refund. As a working actor my own castings can occasionally move a session; if that happens you choose a new time or get a full refund.
Always. Scripts and tapes are never shared, and copies are deleted within 30 days.
Every open slot is live. Book it, pay, and you'll get your video link straight away. No waiting for a reply.
