Self Tape Gear For Actors
If you’re going to work in this industry the ability to self-tape is an absolutely essential skill for every actor. (especially post-COVID!) At the moment, almost all auditions are self-tapes. Yes, using a smartphone is completely okay, but there are a few tricks, and these are some of the tools that will make it easier! They’ll help you record a professional looking (and sounding) audition from your own home. These are some of my top picks from Amazon for self tape gear. All of the choices are things that I either own, have tried out, or friends use, and love! By all means, find what works for you! …. that’s part of the creative process.
Voiceover Home Studio Essentials

Almost all voiceover work is now being done from home, with the exception of specialty work and super high budget projects. So why not brush up on your skills and jump in!
