Self-taping has become essential for modern actors, and we’re here to ensure ACT artists can audition confidently from Canberra with professional equipment and support.

DIY Self Tape
Use our professional self-tape setup independently. The studio is equipped with lighting, camera equipment, and backdrop — everything you need to record audition-quality footage. Bring your phone or use our equipment, set up your frame, and record at your own pace.
Perfect for actors comfortable with the technical side who want affordable access to professional gear.
Free for Members | $30 per session for non-members
Supported Sessions
Work with our staff who provide scene direction and performance coaching while we handle all technical setup — lighting, framing, and recording. Focus entirely on your performance, explore multiple takes, and receive constructive feedback in a supportive environment that treats you as a professional.
Ideal for actors preparing for significant auditions, wanting direction, or building their self-tape skills.
$80 per hour
You must be a member to access supported sessions.
