Who is this for
Is This You?
❌ Not using social media to boost your acting career
❌ Unsure how to make your digital presence work in your favour
❌ Watching other actors land jobs through socials while you’re stuck on the sidelines
👉 If you’re nodding along, then this course is for you.
✨ Learn how to turn your online presence into opportunities.
Networking has always been key to getting your acting career off the ground. But today, the real question is: how do you use digital platforms to supercharge your networking?
This course shows you how to craft the kind of online presence and messages that Casting Directors and agents actually read — and remember.
Here’s the blunt truth: CASTING DIRECTORS ARE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. They’re scrolling daily, keeping an eye out for the next actor who makes them stop.
If you want to be one of those actors, you need to know what you’re doing.
This course is for actors who:
📱 Aren’t using social media effectively to elevate their career
🤔 Are trying to figure out how their digital presence can actually work for them
🏃♂️ Feel like they’re falling behind while other actors seem to book opportunities straight from their socials
👉 If that sounds like you, this course will flip the script and show you how to turn your online presence into your career’s secret weapon.
✨ Stop scrolling. Start being seen.

The Hot Spot Problem: Why Standing on Your Mark Makes You Dull
Standing dutifully on your mark like an obedient actor? You're already losing the audition. Most actors treat the ‘hot spot’ (the mark on the floor that you put your toes on!) as the casting director's space. Wrong approach. We will help you see this space as your character's. Because if you give away this fundamental freedom of the audition space, it will kill your creativity. We will give you practical techniques to break free - because this makes every actor look the same

Beyond the Reader: Revolutionary Eyeline Techniques for Magnetic Auditions
If you lock onto one eyeline—straight to the reader—you will create the same audition the casting director has seen twenty times that day. Let us show you why limiting yourself to a single point of focus, drains energy from the frame. What is the solution? Learn the geometry of eyelines that will make your audition stand out with movement and life.

Visualize to Magnetize: How to Build Your Character's World in Any Audition Room
Learn how to visualize and position every element of your character's environment—the door, the TV, the handbag—so that casting directors see a real person in a real room instead of another uniform audition. Build the set with your eyelines, and suddenly you're not inside the square anymore.

A Unique, Strategic Blueprint for Dynamic Auditions
This lesson teaches you to map four key eyelines, that will inject energy into every audition you deliver. Start creating character-driven moments that don't need to be "acted." With our unique method, you powerfully draw viewers to the whites of your eyes. By following this technique, you have the freedom to choose when — and why — you look at the other character. Transforming expected plot delivery into genuine emotional connection.

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.

🎬 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.
