Since joining, I have a strong technique and approach that is applicable for film/tv auditions, callbacks, and being on set. If you're like me and you want to stand out in your auditions, looking for something new, then try Hot Shots.

I've been to quite a few self taping businesses since I've been in L.A. and none of them come close to Hot shots. Jonathan is awesome and works extremely well with actors. It helps that he's an actor himself and that he is able to speak in actor's language. When you work with him he says all the right things that can take you where you need to go with your material. The conversation is always grounded in what is happening in the scene. I was referred to him by my manager after having a day's notice for a self tape. I went to his website booked an appointment for a self tape with coaching and Jonathan immediately responded. It was a fruitful experience and well worth the cost. I paid the extra $15 for a quick turnaround and received the final cut within a couple of hours! To top it off, my manager and agent commented on how well the tape came out. I highly recommended Hot Shots Self Taping to any actor that is seeking quality material! Lastly, if you find yourself needing reel material you should hit this place up as well. Jonathan and Yasmeen are extremely talented at what they do and make sure that the work you create is well suited for tv and film!

Posted the same review on Google This place is great…read more We had an amazing experience today. My 6 year old had a 2 scene selftape to do, and we got it done including the slate in a very productive 45 minute session. My daughter had time to do several takes of each scene for some options and we never felt rushed. She wasn't nervous and felt totally at home. The prices are reasonable and the person we worked with was AMAZING. The files were edited and sent to me within the 45 minute session and we got to watch them back. 2 solid takes for each scene. Perfect.

Alice, who I've had the pleasure of taping with a few times, went above and beyond. It was a last-minute casting, and I was flustered.

We had 4 scenes - 7 pages, and was able to get through it in 50 minutes for our hour session, which left some room for editing to be done.

Had a great session and would definitively tape at The Selftape Creative Studios again. Thank you and have a great week!

It's been a huge help when I have had to do a very quick turnaround on my self tapes. And speaking of turnaround... I love how fast they turn around your tape to you! Usually within thirty min sometimes while you are right there! You get to choose which take you like best. Oh! I also love Brett and Joanne - as actors themselves they really care about making your audition look great so they will give little technical tips if needed that can help make the scene pop. I know I said I love love love -- but I had to add hat one more -- when you find a place that does the job right you gotta give the extra love ;-)
