Turn meetings and auditions into career opportunities
🎬 Every meeting is an audition — every audition is an opportunity.
Auditions and industry meetings aren’t just about showing what you can do — they’re about making the kind of impression that leads to the next call, the next role, the next step in your career.
This training shows you how to transform those moments from “just another meeting” into career-defining opportunities.
Every Interaction Counts
🎭 Every meeting with an agent or Casting Director is an opportunity — a chance to be remembered, to spark interest, and to move your career forward.
But here’s the truth: it’s also a chance to be overlooked. And once that door closes, it rarely opens again.
That’s why this 7-lesson course (just one hour of focused material) is designed to equip you with everything you need to turn first meetings into career-defining opportunities.
Taught from the perspective of veteran Casting Director Greg Apps, this training gives you the insider knowledge to make sure you leave the kind of impression decision-makers can’t ignore.
✨ Don’t waste the meeting. Make it matter.

✨ Start smart. Start confident. Start here.
Lessons
1
Your first meetings are crucial. Get ready
Remember every time your agent, or a Casting Director sees you they are forming an opinion. Here we learn how to make that opinion a positive one.
2
Being natural is the key. Here is how
Your presentation and attitude is paramount to how you are perceived. No matter who you are meeting, it is important to make them feel important.
Remember, this is their meeting. What sort of research do you need to do to not only be remembered whilst in the room but more importantly when you’re not in the room?
3
In an agent meeting, what are they looking for?
What do you know about the person conducting your meeting / audition? More importantly what do they know about you and what part of you are you going to be portraying?
Learn how to present what the Decision Maker is looking for and to dress accordingly. What person or type of you are you going to show me when you come in to audition? Learn that different people need to see different sides and how to delineate between them.
4
What are they looking for in your meeting?
Ok. You have the audition but what is the Casting Director looking for?
Hint: It’s not the best actor! What special qualities do you have? What is the most important quality to have as an actor? It’s these qualities that we want to see, that we are looking for, in EVERY audition.
Learn what we are looking for in the call back session of your audition and why this is so important for actors to know.
5
The difference between stage and screen actors
In an Audition - what is the difference between the two?
This course is not teaching you about stage craft but about auditioning for screen.
Without screen qualities it is easy to come over as a ‘try hard’ and sycophant. Learn how to present your genuine self. In other words don’t push it!
In this lesson we learn the second most valuable tool you need as an actor and how telling the truth can NOT get you remembered!
6
The final key to the audition puzzle

How to put theory into practice
We start to bring together everything we have talked about
In this lesson we are talking about the third critical quality that you must supply to be welcomed, remembered, and fascinating in face to face experiences.
But there is one factor that is so often ignored by actors in the audition space. We all do it on a daily basis but it seems so easily bypassed in the audition space. Learn what this is and how important it is to deliver an audition that engages with both your reader and your Decision Maker.

FAQ's
Do I get lifetime access?
Yes — once you buy, it's yours for life.
Your course lives on our LMS, hosted inside the TAT community, so you log in, pick up where you left off, and come back as often as you need. Revisit a lesson the night before an audition, or work through the whole thing again a year later when you're at a new level. No subscriptions, no expiry, no paywall that sneaks back in.
Can I watch on my phone?
Yes — TAT has a dedicated mobile app, so your course travels with you. Review a lesson on the train to an audition, rewatch a scene breakdown between takes, or catch up over morning coffee. Same course, same progress — just in your pocket.
Are there subtitles?
Yes — every lesson is fully subtitled.
How do I get feedback on my acting if it's online?
Book an Audition Advantage session on our website. One on one feed back from an experienced Casting Director on your tape — exactly the perspective you'd never get from a normal acting class. It's the fastest way to find out what a casting director actually sees when they hit play.
Is this suitable for international actors?
Yes — this coaching has been bought by students all over the world. The craft of auditioning translates across markets; the principles Greg teaches are how casting decisions get made, whether you're taping for Sydney, London, LA, or anywhere in between.
How long do I have to complete the course?
Forever. Lifetime access means no deadlines, no artificial pressure — work through it in a weekend or a year. Most actors come back to specific lessons before big auditions, which is exactly how it's designed to be used.
What equipment do I need?
A basic self-taping setup is all you need — phone or camera, decent light, a clean background, and somewhere quiet to read. You don't need a studio; you need the habits. The Self Taping Academy walks you through the exact setup if you want to get it right from day one.
Is there a community, or do I work through it alone?
You're not alone — you can join hundreds of actors inside the TAT community. Share tapes, swap notes, ask questions, and learn alongside people doing the same work as you. The course gives you the craft; the community keeps you sharp between auditions.

Stop lurking. Start connecting. Turn scrolling into opportunities.
🎭 Casting Directors are on social media. Which means — like it or not — you need to be there too. Not just on Instagram, but across the platforms where connections are made and opportunities are born.
And yes, we’ve all been there:
But here’s the truth: in today’s industry, digital networking isn’t optional — it’s essential.
This course shows you how to:
👉 This isn’t about schmoozing or spamming your showreel to anyone with “Casting” in their bio. It’s about creating real connections — and yes, learning to enjoy it.
