Acting coaching · One-on-one online
Get one-on-one acting coaching from working actors over video. First, we work through your scene together. Then you record with clear, confident choices and send a tape you believe in.
What you get
There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Every actor has different strengths, so we tailor each session to you and the role.
First, we break down the sides, test different choices and agree on the strongest one.
Then, if you choose, we watch the self tape you record at home and give notes.
Finally, we give one last pass on your re-recorded take before you send it.
How it works
First, send the sides, the casting notice and your deadline through our contact form.
Next, we meet over video and work through the scene, your objective and your choices.
Then you record your tape with the notes fresh in your mind.
Finally, if you chose tape review, we send notes before you submit.
In general, coaching works best a day or two before your deadline, because you need time to rehearse the notes. However, for a fast callback, request a session as early as you can.
Your coaches
Your sessions come from Kevin L. Walker and Donnabella Mortel Walker, working actors with national commercials, network TV credits and an Audie Award between them. Read their full story on our About page.
Between sessions, Self-Tape Academy students can also ask the Self-Tape Coach in their learning dashboard for quick answers. Union actors can find member resources at SAG-AFTRA.
The Self-Tape Academy walks you through all of it step by step: three courses, a learning dashboard, quizzes and certificates for one payment of $199.
