Come create the perfect self-tape at a discounted rate with our in-house service!
Our offices in Garrick Street feature six expertly-designed studios that are frequently used for casting your favourite films, TV shows and commercials. We love getting to meet all the casting professionals who come in to use our spaces, and we want our members to have the opportunity to benefit from using them too.
That’s why we’re offering Studio Sessions. For a reduced rate, you can book your own private studio space on our specially-selected days to film your showreels, self-tapes, monologues or duologues with friends. Each studio will come with camera equipment, lighting and a skilled camera operator to take care of all the technical aspects.
Now that casting professionals can filter their searches through Spotlight by the inclusion of video footage, it’s never been more important to upload material that shows you in action. Whether you want to mix things up with some fresh footage, or you’re in need of your first acting video, Studio Sessions will provide you with everything you need.
As you can see from the video above, all your monologues will be professionally filmed using our Sony NX5HD camera, with every performer close mic’d to get the best quality sound. Our expert lighting setup can be fully adjusted to your needs, which, matched with our standard 18% grey background, will create a calm and professional environment to record your footage.
Working with our experienced camera operators, you can record as many takes as you like within your 30 minute slot, review the footage and select your favourite takes. You’ll then receive an email with a link to view and download high-res MPEG-4 video files, which you can then add directly to your Spotlight profile.
If you need someone to read with you, please feel free to bring a friend along – unfortunately we can’t always guarantee that our friendly staff members will be free to assist you with this!
Our Studio Sessions sessions will be available to book through our Eventbrite page on selected days between Monday and Friday, 10am to 5pm.
Prices (VAT inc.):
Spotlight members: £45 – 30 minutes
Non-Spotlight members: £50 – 30 minutes
