Because of the fact that I'm just getting started, I went with the fully engineered hourly rate which was the smart move because this gave me access to equipment and expertise that would have cost me 100x or more of what I was paying per hour here. #WorthIt My experience with Melrose Podcast proved to me that working quality equipment coupled with incredible engineering and Ari's patience can make even a beginner like me sound like a pro. Without a doubt, this Studio is a must for anybody just starting out and should be in everyone's playbook for success.

Eric is my go to resource whenever I need to make a major decision related to professional acting…read more He's been in the business for over a decade and is a very successful working actor both commercially and theatrically. Well connected, wise, generous and practical with all of his advice -- I trust him implicitly. As a successful entrepreneur and business woman who recently returned to acting in my 40's -- I realize how extremely competitive this business is and how important it is to do everything within your control to stack the odds in your favor. That for me means the best classes/coaches, professional tools (headshot, reel, etc) and professional self-tapes. Eric is a master actor and a self-tape pro. He has great ideas on how to set-up the scene; helps rehearse sides until you're comfortable; he's an excellent reader who is fun to act with; and has top-of-the-line camera, sound and lighting equipment, which results in high-quality tapes you'll be confident and proud to submit. Best of all, Eric is fully dedicated and present. He will take his time with you. You will never feel uncomfortable or rushed. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned actor -- Eric is an amazing partner who knows what it takes to be successful in Hollywood. He will help build your confidence and your bottom-line by improving your results. I can confidently say I would not be where I am (fully repped and booking) in just a year without his support. Thank you, Eric!

I've been recording my auditions with her for over 3 years now and I'm hugely better at my craft because of her knowledge and experience. She really understands both actors and voiceover. As a talented director, she often gives you a super valuable perspective that is real-world as opposed to an acting coach, who hasn't sat on the other side of the glass and has no experience with producers. She makes me sound great always and I love the whole experience which is friendly, turnkey and boutique. I've recorded many successful auditions here of all media- commercials, animation and video games. My last audition at LAVO before the quarantine was a video game. I was called back during the quarantine and coached with Deon virtually-I then recorded my audition and she did expert cleanup on it so it sounded amazing. I booked the job! And I was the first client at my agency to book a job during the lockdown! She offers production services and has recently upgraded her protocols to be incredibly Covid safe. Please call to verify all of those procedures. The rates are incredibly reasonable for how much value you get. I've tried other places that might have been a little cheaper but my work sounded horrible. Never again! I love everything about LA Voiceover, and so do my agents! I would yell that from the rooftop, but I'd break a vocal chord!

Visually, I was so pleased as well, with the takes turning out well lit, flattering and with a clean back drop. We ran my scenes many times as he was incredibly generous with coaching. I did my first session in the evening and he even went as far as to allow me to come back the morning afterward when I wanted to make a few minor tweaks to my work. By the time I sent in my tapes, I felt so peacefully proud of the work I did and the quality of the shots.

Coincidentally, I was browsing my FB feed and a friend of mine was helping a friend of his promote his new self tape service.

I'd like to pat myself on the back for making a great decision. I make one of those every once in a while. Ron was nothing short of a pro. I'm new to the acting game and I honestly don't really know what the hell I'm doing. Ron was patient, knowledgeable, and his confidence was contagious. I honestly feel as though I'm a better actor just from my short hour w/ him. Ron's knows what he's doing people. Hit him up and tell him Mitch sent you.

Fortunately Ron is a true pro who knows what he's doing, and it showed. I was really impressed with his technique and guidance, especially since I was so nervous and clueless. Another thing I loved was how comfortable he made the process. I'd much rather go to him than one of the bigger self tape places that rush you. The rates he charges for the kind of all around service he gives is pretty crazy low if you think about it. Anyway, overall a great experience. If I ever get another audition in the future I'm rollin with Isha Boy Self-Tapes!

Regardless of where you are as a working actor geographically Smashcut can work for you.
