About this service
You’ve got an audition. You need it to look good, sound good, and get there on time. That’s what we’re here for.
Book a self-tape session and we’ll handle the shoot — framing, lighting, takes, editing, delivery. Book a coaching session and we’ll get your performance where it needs to be before the camera even turns on. Or book both and we’ll take it all the way from cold pages to a finished tape, start to finish.
In-person or remote. Adults and teens. Sessions start at $37.

"What would we do without AFA! The crew here is nothing short of amazing. I hate doing my daughter’s self tapes mainly because I don’t feel qualified — AFA takes all the stress out of it and makes the whole process seamless."

FAQ
How does self taping work in a remote appointment?
You just need access to two devices (like a cell phone and a laptop or iPad) so we can Zoom together on one and you can shoot your scenes on the other. We’ll tell you exactly where to place everything to make sure it looks polished and professional. Once you’ve nailed your performance and we’ve chosen your perfect takes, you can send the footage to us and we’ll edit everything and send it off wherever it needs to go.
I want coaching on my remote tape but don’t need editing help. Do I still book Self-Tape + Coaching?
Nope! If you’re shooting a remote tape and you don’t need your coach to assist with the edit, you can just book a Private Coaching session.
I need to cancel or reschedule. How do I do that?
You may cancel or reschedule up until 12 hours before your appointment. Just click the button in your confirmation email that says “Change/Cancel.” Appointments cancelled less than 12 hours in advance are not eligible to be refunded or rescheduled.
I need new footage for my casting profiles. Can you help?
Yes! We help actors shoot new material all the time. If you need help finding material, we offer a custom script writing service where we can write scripts specifically for you. Or if you already have material, book a standard Self-Tape + Coaching and we’ll take it from there.
