Where is Tall Tale Self Tapes located?

Tall Tale Self Tapes is a private, by-appointment self-tape studio in the LAX area of Los Angeles, CA 90045. The exact address is shared once your session is booked. We serve actors across Westchester, Playa del Rey, El Segundo, Culver City, Marina del Rey, Inglewood, Santa Monica, and the greater Los Angeles area.

What is included in a self-tape session?

Every session at Tall Tale Self Tapes includes a trained on-camera reader, teleprompter, professional cinematic lighting, a soundproof studio, room for wide or full-body shots, and 24-hour digital delivery of your finished take files. We were built by working actors, so the setup is designed around the audition process itself.

How fast is the turnaround on self-tapes?

Standard turnaround is within 24 hours of your session, and most clients receive their files within 12 hours. Rush delivery is available on request for same-day casting deadlines.

Do I need to bring my own reader?

No. Every standard self-tape session at Tall Tale includes a trained reader. Michael J. Middleton and Danielle Larracuente are both working actors and on-camera coaches, so you're reading with someone who understands tone, pacing, and how to give you a usable scene partner.

Is there a monthly membership for working actors?

Yes. Our Unlimited Self-Tapes monthly membership gives working actors unlimited sessions for a flat monthly rate — ideal during pilot season and active audition cycles. New clients can apply code TALLTALE for 50% off their first month.

Do you offer parking?

Yes — free street parking is available right outside the studio. Because we're in the LAX/Westchester area, access from LAX, the 405, and the 105 is fast.

It's fine. You send it. You wonder if it was enough. We've been there.
