About Self Tape Lab

A rehearsal, coaching and self-tape studio built by actors, for actors.

Self Tape Lab is a collaborative video conferencing and self-tape platform that helps actors rehearse, record and refine high-quality audition tapes from home. Members book live scene-partner reads and coaching sessions with vetted readers and coaches, jump into open rehearsal rooms to run sides with other actors, and submit self-tapes to industry-hosted workshops for structured, professional feedback on performance and setup.

It is built for working and aspiring actors alike: performers who need a reliable reader on short notice, actors who want affordable coaching from accredited professionals, and self-tapers looking for honest, actionable notes before a big audition. A partner directory makes it easy to find readers and coaches by accent, location and rate, while a private messaging system keeps every booking, cast mate and coaching relationship in one place.

Self Tape Lab is built and maintained by the Self Tape Lab team, a small group focused on making professional self-taping accessible, affordable and genuinely useful. The platform is designed to keep control in the hands of actors: you choose your partners, set your own rates, manage your own availability, and keep your takes private. Everything is designed around the real workflow of preparing a self-tape, from first read to final take.
