Great experience at my first time at The Selftape Creative Studios! James was efficient, helpful, punctual, and supportive. Parking was available in the back. We had 4 scenes - 7 pages, and was able to get through it in 50 minutes for our hour session, which left some room for editing to be done. Felt comfortable and was able to get into character at my pace. I highly recommend. The studio was able to see me in a 48 hour notice which was a great cushion. Had a great session and would definitively tape at The Selftape Creative Studios again. Thank you and have a great week! read more

Terrible lighting. Awful sound quality. What a waste of time and money. I should've done more research before I booked.

Just had a great session here today! I used to record here all the time and am back after a long break. The nice gentleman, who helped me with my audition, was very professional, helpful, resourceful, friendly, efficient and supportive! And an excellent reader as well, really helped the energy flow. The entire process was very quick and easy, not a second of my time was wasted. He did all the editing for me on the spot and sent me the materials right away. The only thing I wish was different is to have a chance to wait in the waiting room, practice my lines, fix hair/makeup and generally prep. It used to be this way before but now the policy has changed and I had to wait outside. Aside from that - I had an time and got great results. Overall I am very grateful for a great experience and will definitely be back. Big thanks to the team. read more

I cannot give this place enough stars. I've taped here several times, but today really demonstrated how amazing these guys are. Alice, who I've had the pleasure of taping with a few times, went above and beyond. It was a last-minute casting, and I was flustered. Alice kept her cool and made sure every box was checked, so I could tape and get my submission out. If you want a stress-free self-taping experience, this is the place. read more

Back again! Got the email from my manager that I have a self taped audition for a BIG PROJECT, instantly looked online and saw that they had openings for Sunday! I immediately booked time. At first I booked a half hour session then thought to myself that is not going to be enough time to go over and shoot 2 scenes for the audition. I Soo I emailed and asked for more time! I booked an hour of time just to make sure I had enough time to run the scene then shoot it! It went great thanks guys!! 5 stars read more

Okayyyyyyy!!!! THE SELFTAPE is no joke! if you want quality selftapes, professional help, and to completely up your game, this is where you need to come to. I know I sound like a commercial, but I'm speaking facts. THE SELFTAPE Creative Studios is owned by Jason Montgomery who is fantastic. Jason use to be a casting director, so he understands what casting is looking for, but he also understands the craft of acting very well. I have literally gone to every self tape place in LA (I'm not kidding) and hands down this is the best place. And of course THE SELFTAPE has copy cats out there so watch out, they're not the same. There are two locations, one in WeHo and one location in The Valley, and both locations are fantastic with industry PROFESSIONALS to work with you, that know what they are doing, in an actual studios space and not someone's apartment. Okay I'm almost done. Working with The SELFTAPE is honestly like taking a private acting class. You will learn so so so much. Your work will really develop. I've seen it in my own work from when I started with The Selftapes to now. Lastly, they have the most reasonable costs. You will get the best bang for your buck. I'm there on the regular and I'm so happy I found them. read more

Where do I start?!? This has to have been by far my greatest self tape! As oppose to always self taping with a friend, for this important career changing project, I made the decision to step up my game and have my tape professionally done! Well worth the investment! Jason, the owner who I just met for the first time makes you feel like you've been friends for years! Walks me through the material.. respects my choices however, gave the most amazing feedback to hit blind spots I couldn't see (in a very diplomatic manor.) Did several takes.. allowed me to review... we tackled certain weaknesses that were showing up in my acting (being vulnerable here, lol.) The environment was conducive to a perfect audition space! The equipment was very professional! Used high-end camera not an ipad (lol), lighting was perfect, no distractions, you're own private quiet studio with more than enough space to work. Back drop as well. Jason with massive experience in the casting room knew exactly how to recreate the experience while making you feel beyond comfortable. Didn't rush me and allowed me to take my time. Once we shot a few takes he allowed me to explore several choices and we picked the best take. He slated me once we were done with the scene and even added some tips for that. Finally walked me through exactly what he was editing including the slate. Lastly, took the time to help me upload to casting directly vs rushing home to download and try and upload myself. Not one to leave an extensive review but after this experience it was warranted. I will NEVER self tape on my own again! For those out there serious about booking, it's worth the investment. Don't make the same mistake I've made for years and try to save money by doing it yourself. Once you go through this process you'll never do it yourself again unless you have no choice. Thanks again Jason! See you again real soon!! Found my second home! Lol... read more

I've taped many auditions for TV/Film jobs at this location & I honestly appreciate the quality of service that I'm given each & every time I book an appointment. Michael Galante is easily my fave person to work with when I need to submit a self tape. I've taped with him 7 times. He's a fantastic trained actor with some killer instincts (as far as working the scene is concerned & identifying what's right for you in those moments). He's also a stellar editor with a great eye for what Casting Directors are looking for. Overall, I can't recommend The SELFTAPE Creative Studios enough. They even have a variety props to use in the production of your tape. They're def worth your investment! Check em out! read more

We found this studio on Yelp. I've never been led astray by my yelpers. We immediately hit it off with Jason. It is clear that he is very immersed in Hollywood. His studio is first class. We will be back for more! 5 stars. read more

This is my third time here and the experience is always top of the line. I've tried doing other studios and the vibe isn't the same. The self tape employees are in the field and they are very helpful with adjustments. read more

I would rate it 10 stars if I could! Jason has been phenomenal, he was reading with my 11 year old girl, made her feel super comfortable, they had a blast taping which made her feel so natural in front of the camera by having fun. Kept giving her constructive advice while always making her feel that she is doing great. Endless patience which is so important. He gives you his honest and super professional opinion which I Love and appreciate. Such a pleasure meeting this guy... really helped my little actress a lot! Super recommended!! read more

I cannot rate the SELFTAPE CREATIVE STUDIO high enough!! The prices charged at The SELFTAPE Creative are totally reasonable. Jason and his staff are not about just running a business. They truly care about the people they work with. They want to see their actors succeed. My son has booked network and lead roles out of The SELFTAPE studio. My first impression of Jason and his studio was when I was in a pinch. My son needed to do a tape and we were in the airport leaving NYC to fly to LA. Jason made arrangements to open his studio for us special and did not charge us more for doing so. I have been to a number of studios who have charged us if they even agreed to open up early or stay a little later. The fact that I had called 7 other studios and Jason was the only one who called me right back said A LOT! There was no question I was going to take my son anywhere else going forward. The SELFTAPE Creative studio has gone above and beyond in more than that one circumstance. The staff have met with my son via phone and skype to rehearse before an audition as early as 7AM and have also figured out ways to make it so we can record across coasts and the tape is as high quality as if we were in the same room. The coaching my son receives at the SELFTAPE is the best. They are real professionals; They know how to coach, act and they know what casting directors are looking for. The studios available at the SELFTAPE have everything you need. They have VR, sound studios and multiple recording studios. The post-production set up has multiple monitors and the tapes are sent directly to casting. I live in NYC and often am in LA with my son. We have been to over 15 self-tape studios and The SELFTAPE is by far the MOST professional. The rates are actually better than most others because there are no additional costs for rush jobs, coaching, etc. How can any complain about this??? They deserve the 5 Star record they have. read more

James was very helpful at the Weho studio. But the real surprise was the excellent communication from the owner of the company. I'm working with them again. Highly recommended. read more

I will give this place a 5 star because I love the office a lot and been there for many years now, but I do have a little feedback for small changes that I've been hoping to happen for a long time. The positives is that the selftape room is spacious and you don't feel suffocated as you do at some other selftape studios. The (big) con is that the backdrop is really boring and bleak compared to some other places. Tbh even the lighting and camera can probably get better, but for the love of God change that boring backdrop to something else. And I could be wrong but the camera doesn't seem as sharp and bright as other places I've been too? Or perhaps the camera and lighting is great but it's the backdrop ruining it. If you compare this backdrop to Intrepids backdrop and lighting for instance it's night and day. And it's a pity it's not been changed for so many years, because it's just small adjustments like that that's needed at this point for this already great place. But again, this is a really good place, the staff is very friendly and I still go there over other selftape studios all the time. So I really recommend you do too! read more

Self-tapes can really make or break your career prospects. Jason and the team at SELFTAPE CREATIVE STUDIOS provide the environment, guidance, and expertise to let your BEST performance shine through. Jason's rich and respected history in casting is pure gold for actors as he helps you deliver a tape that is both artistically and technically appealing to the most respected casting folks in town. I have taped dramatic and comedic auditions here and every time I enter the facility I am greeted with a warm smile and I feel my nerves just dissolve. They also have free parking and two locations! West Hollywood and Sherman Oaks. Oh, and did I mention they edit your footage and send it to you and your team BEFORE you even leave? Gone is the anxiety of neurotically checking your email to see if all that hard work is really going to make it in your email in time to meet a deadline. If you want to remove as many exterior stressors as possible to focus on getting your best performance seen in the big leagues, get yourself over to SELFTAPE CREATIVE STUDIOS!! read more

This is my first time here, and I had an amazing experience! Jason is so friendly and professional, he advised and coached me :) I am Def coming back! Overall- I recommend Selftape, because the are professional and flexible and super friendly! read more

Jason Montgomery doesn't simply tape your audition. As a former casting director, he works with you and gets the best performance out of you! He's a great actor as well which makes it easier to do your dialogue. Definitely recommend. read more

Great spot, good price, readers are awesome!! I got two auditions on tape in a 30 min session!! Definitely use this place again!!

We couldn't have chosen a more perfect place to self tape! Jason is amazing. Takes his time and does as many takes as needed. Offers valuable coaching (free of charge), and definitely cares about the quality of the audition. Our new favorite place! read more

RUN. Do not walk to Selftape Creative Studios. I have never been one to do self tapes at home. They look....like they've been done at home. I had gone to the same place for years until on one occasion, my regular place was booked. Out of desperation, I called Jason. Best thing that could have ever happened. Needless to say, I won't go anywhere else. The quality is top notch, and Jason and his very skilled staff (ESPECIALLY Cecilia!) know what they are doing. What really drives this 5 star rating is the fact that, they never try to rush you. If you book an hour, they aren't pushing you out the door after 35 minutes. It's one of those businesses that goes above and beyond... read more

The Selftape Creative Studios provides impeccably professional services in a well-appointed, relaxing environment. I used their online booking tool to come in for a session in a fast paced, time sensitive, looming deadline situation. The owner is highly affable, energetic and trustworthy. He's been doing this for a long time and he knows the business inside and out. If you're looking for reliable, efficient outstanding quality selftape services, go to the The Selftape Creative Studios -- the perfect combination of PROFESSIONAL and CREATIVE. read more

Jason and Cecelia are AWESOME! Friendly, professional, and willing to work with you on your sides for taped auditions. The quality of their videos are top notch, their editing is on point, and as far as readers go: just the best. These guys could be charging 2-3x as much as they do for their work--so take advantage of their amazing talent and professionalism for what's extremely, extremely reasonable price-wise. You won't have a better experience in LA--next time you have a self-tape audition go here! read more

Great experience today shooting a self-tape with Jason! Easy online booking, great lighting and high quality production value. My tape looks great and Jason turned it around before I left the studio. He's a great guy that knows actors, acting and cares about your work. Thanks again!! read more

I've been to Self Tape twice. The first time I went, I taped for a series recurring, and got a callback! So, when I had to tape last minute for a pilot yesterday, I knew exactly where I wanted to go. I had two scenes and was out of there with an awesome tape in about 30mins. I didn't feel rushed at all, I came in prepared and knocked it out. Jason is so kind and makes you feel incredibly comfortable. I was unsure if I was off book but Jason encouraged me to put my sides down and I felt good about it. He gives a few good tips about movement while letting you play it how you want. I just sent my tape in today and I was really, really proud of it. Definitely recommending to all my actor friends! Happy Booking!!! read more

If you are in need of a last minute self tape or a taped audition in general, go to THE SELF TAPE. I've been taping with Jason and his studio for three years now and his work is always consistent... consistently GREAT! Not only will Jason give you 100% of his time and energy in your session but he truly cares about the success and growth of his clients and wants to see you win. I can't rave enough about this studio! If there were ten stars I would give that! A must! Thank you Jason!!! read more

Jason has an incredible ability to bring out the best actor in me. He works quickly, has every prop you could possible need, and leaves you with a bangin self tape. I won't go anywhere else. Thanks man! read more

These guys were THE BEST! Not only was the vibe in the studio comfortable and professional, the person who I worked with,Rob, was an awesome reader. They did as much work as I did to help me book the job and gave that much support. I was SO grateful to them when I left I felt like I met some new friends, who also know how to edit and make you look amazing. I found my go to self tape facility a fun and friendly atmosphere, great readers, and staff who understand a working actors needs. read more

Just had my first experience here and I can't recommend these guys more highly. I had a quick turnaround on a tape and was able to get a same day appointment. Rob gave me great coaching, Josh edited my tape while I waited and the quality of the video is the best I've seen. This place will be my first stop for my next taped audition. Thanks guys!! read more

I found this place about a year ago and it has been a savior for me in many ways. Their friendly and relaxed environment makes it a great place to shoot self tapes and there is always a good reader to work with you. Jason has also helped me edit my demo reel. Very professional, very friendly, very helpful. read more

First time using Selftape today. Jason was great. He worked well with our son and provided a very professional looking audition on tape. He makes subtle edits using software and creates a great tape. He is very professional and easy to work with. Will definitely use this facility again. read more

Josh is my favorite reader at the Selftape. His professionalism and sense of humor always puts me at ease with even the most challenging scenes. When looking for a selftape company, it's all about finding quality scene partners you can trust for the right price. He goes the extra mile to give you a take you're proud of. read more

Jason is AMAZING and has the best studio. He can fit you in last minute and always finds time in his packed schedule. Don't go anywhere else, he's cornered the market on the best self taping in town!!!!!! read more

My self-tape turn out so professional and everyone loved it! Jason was so on point with his directions and he knew what would work and what didn't! Felt almost like I had an acting class and I actually learnt something about my habits in acting! He also works in casting so he knows what casting directors are looking for. He also had ways to calm my nerves, helped me pick out my wardrobe etc! My project was so last minute that he came in 2 hours early from the opening time just to get it in for me in time to submit, Now that's some great commitment right there! If you like their FB page you also get a 25% off your first time. Pretty awesome, safe to say they are the best self tape studio in town and also the first official one! read more

Best Self Tape place in town! I've been coming here for years and Jason and his crew are super professional and incredibly kind and thoughtful. I strongly recommend this place, you won't regret it. I have booked jobs from self taping here and gotten callbacks. Also, the quality of the tape is fantastic! read more

This is THE BEST self-tape studio in Los Angeles. Jason is a wonderful guy and makes you feel at ease. I actually enjoy auditions when I tape with him. He makes it so easy and my agents are always pleased with the quality of the audition. This is money well spent. If you want to book and if you can afford it, invest in yourself by going here. You'll be glad you did! read more

This place is the bomb, and Jason is amazing. I had a high-stress, fast turnaround audition to put on tape, and just didn't have enough notice to take care of it myself. Jason made the whole thing so, so easy -- he took care of everything, and I was in and out in a jiffy; all I had to do was learn my lines and show up. Even the editing process was fast and efficient -- I had a polished, professional-looking, ready-to-submit video waiting in my inbox by the time I left the studio. I will ABSOLUTELY be back next time I have an audition to put on tape -- it relieves SO much of the inevitable stress knowing that someone else will take care of the technical end of things. I'd give 10 stars if that were an option! read more

I had a last minute self tape I needed to get in last minute and Jason was incredible. He makes you feel very welcome and creates a space so you can do your best work. He is patient, kind and so knowledgeable. I have been to many other places, but this was seriously the best experience I have ever had. read more

Look no further, this is the place. From the time I first called, until my son taped with Cecelia today, we couldn't be more satisfied. Jason and Cecelia sealed the deal. Great space, they couldn't have been nicer, nor more helpful. Everything about the visit was awesome. My son now can't wait to go back, that says a lot ! Thank you Jason and Cecelia for a great session, and a very professional video. read more

The Selftape is an amazing studio space. I had a big audition to submit for and was extremely pleased with how professional and helpful Jason Montgomery is. He is a great reader off camera as well. He gives great direction and advice. My scene was well lit, the sound was amazing, the quality was great and the editing was top-notch. I could not believe the state of the art equipment that the Selftape utilizes. Most importantly, I was made to feel completely safe and comfortable so I could let my creativity flow. Thank you Jason! I will definitely be back. read more

Jason and his team are the real deal. Always accommodating and always creatively helpful. Not to mention they are great at trouble shooting and keeping your agents happy. If you need a self taped audition, I don't know why you would go anywhere else. read more
