SELF-TAPE SURGERY

Self-tape surgeries are online 1-to-1s designed to make you stand out. They give you the chance to bounce ideas, be challenged, and work with a second expert perspective. Before every session, I analyse the sides to help you unlock the text and refine your role. During the session, we’ll work together to fine-tune and get the most out of your performance, ready for filming.

At any level, our best work happens when we are in creative dialogue with someone who can challenge, stretch and inspire us.

Flexible time slots are available so you can book a 30-minute top-up to add the final touches to your performance or a longer, more comprehensive session.
