Our Story
As working actors with over 20 years in the industry, we know how stressful self-taping can be: noise, bad lighting, no room to move, and no one to read with.
So we built the room we wanted: a private, quiet self-tape studio in the LAX area of Los Angeles. Stand-alone space, no busy building to walk through, no outside noise bleeding into your take.
Professional lighting, props, and enough floor for a full-body frame. Audition, demo, rehearsal, or new content. The point is that you focus on the performance and nothing else.
Actor, producer, and on-camera coach. Warmth and precision in every session. Her experience on both sides of the camera helps actors land real, grounded performances.
Actor and producer with a cinematic eye and a calm set. His job is to get you confident, connected, and camera-ready before the first take rolls.
A self-tape is a recorded audition you submit to casting instead of reading in the room. You perform the sides on camera with a reader off-screen, then send the file to your rep or straight to the casting portal. Most film, TV, and commercial auditions in Los Angeles now start this way, which makes the quality of your tape part of the performance.
Pick a session length on the booking calendar and choose an open time. You'll get a confirmation with the studio address in the LAX area. Same-day slots open up often. If the calendar looks full and your deadline is tight, call (310) 422-4307 and we'll find you a window.
Under two hours from your session, and most tapes go out sooner than that. We send everything through WeTransfer, with files named and organized by take, so you can forward them straight to your rep or the casting portal. Working against a same-day deadline? Tell us at booking and we'll rush the turnaround.
Email them to info@talltaleselftapes.com as soon as you have them. Your reader looks them over before you arrive, so your session time goes to acting instead of logistics. No sides yet? Bring them on your phone and we'll work from there.
Casting sees every hum, shadow, and cramped frame. A professional self-tape studio gives you a controlled room, even lighting, a clean backdrop, room for a full-body shot, and a trained reader who gives you something to act against. You show up, act, and leave. No setup, no teardown, no roommate noise.
Yes. Free street parking right outside the studio, with no meters or garage to navigate. The space is stand-alone, so you walk in directly rather than through a shared building. Give yourself five minutes of buffer and you'll be in the room on time.
Often. Young actors do well here because the room is private and quiet, and our readers are patient about resets. A parent or guardian is welcome to stay in the room for the whole session.
Yes. Use the link in your confirmation email, or call (310) 422-4307. Audition dates move constantly and we get it. Give us as much notice as you can so the slot can go to another actor. Full terms live in our studio policy.
