ABOUT THIS CLASS
Don’t go through another year still wondering… Are my self tapes competitive? Where can I improve? Should I be trying to do more with my slate? Was my choice strong enough? Did I dress appropriately? How do I come across to casting? Should I have stayed in frame at the end of the scene? Did I make the right choice? The questions just pile up when there are no answers. You send off your tapes, then…….   Silence. Tape, after tape, after tape. Finally, get the answers and feedback you’ve been longing for. This 4 week session will give you the feedback you need to make practical changes and improvements to your auditions and self tapes in 2024. Over the Session you’ll be able to refine your audition process, know the importance of your presence, strengthen your performance, and discover what can turn your self tapes into bookings!

TESTIMONIALS
Jack Wegener
Actor

I feel extremely lucky to be a part of what Studio 24 has to offer here in the Sacramento area. If you know this is what you want to do, Studio 24 is the place where you will find your support, honest feedback, reality checks, productive learning experiences, and new friendships.


Mike Maples
Actor

"This class and the Studio 24 institution is in my opinion, the best acting class I've ever been able to attend.  I took a class at an extremely reputable acting company in San Francisco, which was amazing, but coming across Studio 24, it blew that class out of the water. Cody has the ability to pinpoint a performance, tweak it, know his students, and direct them in a way that gives results that dropped my jaw more than a few times."
