Self Tape Academy

I have really enjoyed this course, and learnt so much about the art of self tape. The community is so friendly and I have felt very welcome and able to share ideas. Sarah has provided a platform that caters to all abilities and lessons that are informative and enjoyable to learn. I would recommend this course to all actors and anyone who would like to learn how to create a better self tape.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone! If you’re wanting to improve your knowledge and confidence in front of the camera, pick up a few tips and ticks on how to nail your self tapes, then this course is for you. This course provides a friendly and safe environment where you’re able to receive feedback on what you’re doing well at and tips on how to make your auditions even better! I found that even over a week, my confidence and knowledge in front of a camera has improved dramatically and want to thank Sarah for providing an environment in which this is possible to achieve – in such a short time frame.

I really enjoyed this course. I am one of those people that THINK they know it all. I thought I knew what a casting person would want form a self-tape. Boy was I off! I got great tips and feedback from Sarah and the rest of the class. Very satisfying to see your last self-tape compared to your first one. I now feel confident that I can deliver a quality self-tape that will help me nail that next gig! I would recommend you take this every actor, even if you THINK you know what you are doing. Thank you Sarah.

I loved participating in doing this self tape course. I got to learn a lot and got a lot of help from the comments and suggestions from the other participants. I really enjoyed it!

Before taking this self-tape course, I was an absolute amateur! There are many key elements to consider when doing a self-tape that I never thought about before. This course is highly interactive with awesome and helpful classmates too, which makes it even better because we all help each other out along the way. Not to mention the coach is right there with you the whole time. My videos went from amateur to professional looking in only 7 days! I would absolutely recommend this course to a friend, it’s 100% worth it.

I really enjoyed taking this course. I gained so much experience and learned so much from it. It helped me with learning to audition and to understand the directors point of view. I learned to be more expressive, which is something I don’t normally do. I think this course will help people have a much better chance to get the role on the audition because you know what you have to do with acting, editing and even filming set up. I would recommend people to take this course if they want to step up their game on acting front.

This Self Tape Academy Course is the best investment you will make. I will definitely recommend my family, friends and new talent to take this course or any course BGT has on offer.

Our mentor Sarah was awesome. She is super supportive, very constructive with an open door approach.

Sarahs training and communication methods was duplicated onto our group to provide the same support with positive daily feedback.

I enjoyed the learning style so much so, I am looking forward to signing up for my next online assignment ❤

I thoroughly enjoyed this course that Sarah provided for us.  I found the interaction with the other students and the feedback that everyone gives back to each other on your daily Takes is really beneficial and it made me work better on the areas I needed to work on.

I gained so much more confidence to now act in front of the camera and it was fun too.
Thank you so much Sarah for providing this amazing Workshop.

I strongly recommend this course for anyone interested in pursuing a career in front of a camera – (either full time or as a hobby.) I took the course hoping to improve my self-taping technological skills. I learned so much about the technology, that was great. But even better, it was fun! It was great getting feedback from the other participants. But the best part was Sarah’s teaching style. As a teacher myself, I have strong feelings about teaching styles. Sarah is warm, caring, and so positive. And she doesn’t balk at suggesting ways in which a student can improve… but she does it in such a way, that students want to do it better. Sarah is a great teacher and she really helped to make the course fun and instructive.

This course was excellent for learning the basics of self tape auditioning which is extremely helpful for the shift to online auditions.  All the tools and tutorials are provided which saves time in researching.  Sarah is available for help and gives regular feedback from which everyone can learn and improve.  Useful tips are abundant from Sarah and other students are able to share their observations too. Smaller course numbers work well.  Thanks Sarah and team for putting this course together, I feel much more confident and competent at self tapes since completing the course.

I had so much fun with this course! It was a great experience and I learned a lot. It was nice watching everyone and getting positive feedback, which wants you to improve more.
Thank you everyone and especially Sarah! You are a great mentor!

I have absolutely loved doing this course.  It is my second course I have completed with Sarah.  She is simply the best.  Her instructions are clear, precise and easy to understand.  Her feedback is very constructive and delivered in a warm and nurturing manner.  I can highly recommend any of Sarah’s courses to all aspiring  actors

The 7 day self tape challenge is a great tool for introducing the art of self-tape to beginner actors who are looking to take on more auditions, as well as allowing intermediate actors to practice their methods so that they can gain more confidence in their methods and acting abilities. Be it an aspiring actor or a newcomer looking to enter the entertainment industry, this course allows you to gain confidence and the ability to put the best audition self tape that the individual can so that they have the best chances of succeeding.

From this course, I learned everything that I didn’t know I needed to know about self-taping. I would highly recommend this course to anyone likely to make a self-tape anytime soon.

I joined the 7-Day Self-Tape Course because I wanted to learn how to do my audition tape in the future.

In just seven days, I learned how to do the self-tape properly, use the right equipment for lighting and audio. I get to see the other people’s self-tapes when we were given a script to execute.

I enjoyed learning to memorise the lines and play around with some acting.

Thanks to Sarah and everyone, especially my agent BGT Actors, Models and Talent <3

I had so much fun on the Self Tape course, and came away much more inspired and confident than I felt going in. Sarah is a wonderful mentor; you can really see she is passionate about helping her students do their best. Her kindness and knowledge really shines, and the “self-tape community” was so encouraging and welcoming the whole way through.

This course was amazing! Sarah is so kind and helpful. She provides a lot of useful information and I’m incredibly grateful for her advice. She’s wonderful!! You build a connection with the other students and they’re very supportive. You gain a lot of confidence. It’s a beautiful experience, one I’ll never forget.

I Really enjoyed The challenge of the course.

I would rate it a 12 out of 10!

I learned some great skills in the 7 days I consider myself to be a technology dinosaur yet I got by, editing compressing my videos and uploading them. Learning new scripts every day and receiving reviews from our facilitator and peer group.
Well done Sarah You lived up to your reputation!

I thought the Self-Tape 7 day course was brilliant! There was lots of really good and helpful training information provided. The scripts were super fun and I enjoyed the variation in the scripts too. Sarah provided awesome support throughout the program. A big “thank you” to Sarah. The web page for the course was easy to navigate. It also promoted a group atmosphere amongst the participants. That was wonderful. I feel like I’ve come a long way in such a short time thanks to this course. I totally recommend this!
