Self-Tape Surgery: Audition Coaching for Actors
Kieran’s coaching for self-tapes and auditions is second to none.
Preparing for an upcoming self-tape? Or trying to work out why your last one didn’t land you a recall? It all comes down to one thing – standing out. You have to captivate the casting director and give them no reason to move on to the next tape.
For your next tape
Self-Tape Surgeries give you the chance to bounce ideas, be challenged, and work with a second expert perspective.
When an audition comes in, time is short and you’re often working with incomplete information which leaves a lot of questions that need answering.
You have to access the character and connect with the text quickly to make sure your performance has depth and detail.
You want to be bold and stand out but you don’t want to distract with unjustified choices.
Every self-tape is more than a chance to book a role. It’s an opportunity to show the casting director who you are and what you can do.
Make every tape count. Let’s work together to unlock the text, connect to the material, and find the choices that really land.
For the tapes that didn’t book
Let’s figure out what’s working, what’s missing, and how to turn a good performance into one that books.
My background as a filmmaker gives me an eye for how simple framing and technical choices can complement the storytelling, as well as the less obvious elements that might be working against you.
Often, the performance is already strong. It’s about identifying the small adjustments that help your choices translate on screen and land with the impact you intended.
Looking through past tapes together with a fresh perspective can be invaluable in helping you to make the changes you need to be unmissable.

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