About this course
TAKE YOUR SELF-TAPES TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Membership of Acting Habit Plus gives you access to advanced self-tape courses that are intended for experienced actors who are already comfortable with the basics of self-taping. Participants of the 21-Day Self-Tape Challenge or The Self-Tape Class receive free membership for their first year.
Available courses include Five-Day Feedback workshops hosted by an array of top international casting professionals. These are a great way to interact with leading experts, learn what they are looking for in a self-tape, and show them what you can do by performing five pieces over five consecutive days. At the end of each workshop you can attend a live Q&A webinar with your host.
We also run a Write Your Own Monologue course, Accent Practice workshops and we're working on many more.
Acting Habit Plus runs as an annual membership which auto-enrols each year - to join click on the Register Now link!
