“How is the time calculated for taping in your studio?”

Your session starts at your scheduled time slot and it ends when the upload of your audition is 100% complete.

“How much time should I book?”

It depends on:

• How many pages
• What your process is°
• How prepared you are
• How many takes casting requests
• If casting wants separate files for everything or one single file

°Some actors prefer to shoot many takes to eventually arrive at the one they’re happy with, while others prefer to come in with a set plan and simply be done after a take or two. Everyone’s very different, so the length of each session really does vary from person to person.

The last 10-20 minutes of your session are used to edit, export and upload your audition. Do keep this in mind when you’re deciding how much time to book.

“If I need more time, can we extend the session?”

Yes. Most of the time we are able to extend your session a little longer if needed, at $1.25 per minute.

If you have a VIP Subscription, we’ll simply deduct the total time off your subscription punchcard as usual.

“What if I need to cancel?”

Please text Paul at 646-285-2447 at least 24 hours prior to your appointment to reschedule or cancel. Late cancellations, late rescheduling and no-shows are subject to a $50 charge, which will be deducted from your VIP Subscription card or from your deposit to book your session.

“Is a reader provided?”

Yes, a male reader is provided at no extra charge. Paul will read with you, but you’re welcome to bring your own reader. If you prefer a female to read with you, please give us advance notice and we’ll do our very best to secure someone for your session. (When we’re finished taping, please pay her directly at $25/hr.)

“How long does it take to send my audition tape?”

It takes about 10-20 minutes after taping - depending on the length of each scene and whether they’re labeled & uploaded separately or if casting just needs one single file. As you may know, taping instructions vary from audition to audition.

*If you prefer to edit the raw files and upload it yourself, just bring a USB 3.0 flash drive; or we can AirDrop it to you before you leave, or we can WeTransfer to you.

“Are you open on weekends & holidays?”

Sometimes we do tape on weekends & holidays. An additional $25.00 fee may apply.
Text Paul at 646-285-2447 to ask about availability. Remember to mention how many scenes & pages you have to tape.

“Do you record voiceover auditions?”

Yes, we can record and process your voiceover audition. We’ll then upload online or send the audio files directly to you and your reps. If you’d like to hear a few samples, just let us know.

“Can I come in to just rehearse on camera for a really important audition?”

Yes. In fact we do it often. Some actors have been doing this with great success.

“Can you do a Zoom session with me?”

Yes - we make it easy. Below are two options.

1. You can record and edit the Zoom session yourself, while hiring us to just be your reader - OR -

2. We can set-up the meeting, record and edit for you, while also being your reader.

Just let us know in your message which you prefer, when you fill out the form on our Book a Session page.

“Can you edit reels and clips for me to upload online?”

Yes - our rate is $75/hr. for all editing services. You can save $150 by purchasing a 10-hour VIP Subscription card that you can use for our editing AND self-taping services. If you missed it, you can view some of our actor demo reels on this page.

“Do you have a teleprompter?”

No, sorry we do not have a teleprompter - but we can place cue cards next to the camera if needed.
