Self Taping School is like no other course out there.
If you want to achieve a higher success rate with your self taping by learning from Australians most experienced Casting Director, Greg Apps, then you need to sign up now.
Greg Apps will show you how to deliver auditions from the Casting Directors perspective with your own personal, individual feedback delivered to you every week or the course.
Actors who are currently self taping ask us – why do I need Self Taping School?
The answer is always the same… “What is your success rate, 2 out of 10, even 5 out of 10?”
How would you like to achieve 8 or higher?
These are the kind of results our students are having once graduating from our Self Taping School and you could too!
Don’t believe us? Click here to take a look at our graduate testimonials.
We don’t teach you where to put the camera, nor where to position the lights or what type of microphone you should be using.
All these basic details can be found free on online (though we do touch on all these things and more in both classes and our private Facebook Group).
You see, we are not like other actor audition training courses.
In our Self Taping School you learn how to communicate with casting directors.
How to work as a team with your agent rather than waiting for the phone to ring; but more importantly we teach you what makes a casting director champion you to the director so that you get the part.
As a professional screen actor, it is a necessity to master self taping- which is why Self Taping School is delivered by an actively working, leading casting director in Australia - Greg Apps.
When the director/ producer has given you a script for a particular role- a Self Test is a scripted test requested by a CD (hopefully with some character notes), that you prepare yourself, in your own space, in your own time, with your own equipment.
When you produce your own self tape to promote yourself and your work - a Self Tape allows you to show your agent (who then shows the CD) what you are capable of, without having to wait for the agent to call you or the CD to request an audition.
Self taping is where actors fall down. How do you promote yourself the right way? How do you know your brand and what is the best way to champion your talent?
Every actor needs to know how to self tape. Now more than ever! More and more auditions are through a self test, and what a major opportunity this is for actors.
The most basic question is where would you be more comfortable to do a great audition? In a cold hostile and unfamiliar casting studio with bright lights and people scrutinising you? Or in the comfort of your own home? Dumb question right?
In our position as Casting Directors we are hearing more and more actors requesting if they can self tape rather than come in and audition for us. But then, they self sabotage.
They do not understand the fundamentals of how to deliver a memorable and engaging self tape. They have the script, point the camera and say their lines... but does their audition pop?!
To be a good auditionee you need to understand how to ‘pop’ in a busy Casting Directors day. It is very easy for us to scroll through after the first 30 seconds without seeing your brilliant work. Why? Because you didn’t engage us.
Our Self Taping Online Course teaches you the do’s and don’ts of the self taping process as well as the things that work and that things don’t.
How do we know? Because we see dozens of self tests and self tapes every week in our busy office.
You will get weekly feedback to grow your confidence but empower you to create memorable self tapes.
Each week you will be given a selection of scenes and genres to shoot and share with the group.
Build or expand your character self tape library for you to showcase and help get your talent seen.

Here are just a few of the incredible testimonials we’ve received for our online acting courses, from globally-based professional actors and those we’ve helped along the way.
Greg has been casting for over 38 years and has seen hundreds of thousands of auditions over the years. He has also been responsible for putting numerous stars in their first stand out roles. Some of the names I have helped discover include Russell Crowe, Eric Bana, Jacki McKenzie, Rachel Griffiths, Guy Pearce, Hugo Weaving and more recently Geraldine Hakewill in Channel 7’s break out series ‘Wanted’.
He began his career as an actor. He has walked the red carpet, and performed in musicals, in theatre, on TV and film. Because he was an actor, he knows what you go through. He has sat in the waiting room and has felt the despair at not getting an audition for a role he desperately wanted. Being a casting director he’s also seen the other side. He’s witnesses so many talented actors stumble at the audition and make silly little mistakes that could have easily been avoided. So he decided to do something about it, to pass on his knowledge and experience to help actors audition like a pro.
