After securing tickets, we received detailed instructions via the 1iota website. We were told to check in two hours prior to the taping, along with guidelines on attire, bag size restrictions, and the strict no-recording policy. They also made it clear that once filming begins, there are no bathroom breaks. If you tend to get cold (like I do), definitely bring a jacket. Attending the taping was a really fun experience. The stage was much smaller than we expected, and we were surprised to learn that the desk and chairs are actually rolled out each night. Overall, it was a memorable highlight of our LA trip, and I'd absolutely recommend it.

I LOVE JIMMY and his team!!…read more Show was spectacular!! The way they organize the line up and pre-check was flawless!!! They kept you informed EVERY step of the way! One possible improvement could be done - the security check. It is almost like TSA BUT you have to go backwards to gather your belongings. Seems like there is a lot of room for mishaps/errors with that process. Otherwise.... All else was spectacular!! Would I go back? Most Definitely!!!!

Ever since I migrated to the US, I'm so lucky to choose Burbank as my permanent residence. I truly…read morelove it here. Known as the Media Capital of the World, Burbank is where all the studios are located, Disney, Warner Bros, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, NBC, ABC, etc. It's no surprise if you bump into movie personalities in the mall, movies, bank and other business establishments. My neighbors are pretty much in the entertainment industry. You would think considering my location and business connections, you would think I'd been to all the tapings available. On the contrary, I don't. Yes, I've been to Jay Leno once as a VIP guest so I didn't have to line up and I even had a souvenir photo with him. But that was it. Until I got an invite to see Big Bang Theory on 8/21/18. Although my ticket stated to show up at 5pm, I was actually in line at 3:30 although show starts at 6:30. I didn't want to miss my spot because I had a guest who lives out of town. Too late for me to find out that I actually had priority tickets which is basically a guaranteed spot. Oh well! My guest and I had seats 5 and 6 so which were in the second row just behind the staff guests. Our seats were right in front of the famous staircase, on its left is Penny's apartment and in the right is Sheldon's. We were so near that we see the stars up close. On the day of our visit, the entire cast was there along with Kathy Bates and Tyler. It's a pretty cool experience and I'm glad to have attended especially when they announced the next day that BBT is finally ending. The taping we saw is actually going to be the first episode for their final season.

I love the Big Bang Theory; I think it's the greatest show on earth!!…read more However the process though of getting a ticket to the Big Bang Theory is the biggest pain; it's not worth it unless you really really like the show. Tickets are obtained at Audiences Unlimited which does most sitcoms in Hollywood. Their site is easy and quick until you want to get tickets for this show which usually come out Mondays. The problem is that their website sucks on this day. It constantly times out and has web errors assuming from so many people overloading it with requests for this show. It reminds me of trying to call a radio station when they are doing a giveaway or a casting director at Central Casting when they've put a job on their recorded line. You would think Audiences Unlimited would invest in more bandwidth but I assume since it's the only show that does this they don't see the need. So if you want a ticket to this show you really have to be very patient and have nothing to do for a few hours Monday morning. I've been lucky enough to get through twice and both times I've literally spent 2 hours trying to get tickets and these weren't even real tickets but standby tickets. I've never ever seen a regular ticket, I don't know if they even exist. Also you can only request 1 ticket at a time. They say this has something to do with the studio so if you want to go with your friend it's best that both of you do it separately. It's possible to request 1 ticket then go back to do another but you also run the risk of space being gone by the time you are finally able to get through again If you are lucky enough to have snagged a standby ticket pat yourself on the back. It doesn't end here though because there is still a very likely chance you won't get in. It really just depends on how many family and friends VIP tickets they have given out who don't show up. That is what the standby audience is for. The first time I went with a standby ticket I didn't get in and I got there early. The next time I got there really, really early and I was still like the 10th person in line. Though this is all annoying to do this for a ticket you can see really it reflected in the audiences that shows up. The audience at the Big Bang Theory are true, true, loyal, loving fans who are willing to come early and wait a whole day to see the show just like the old days where people would camp out somewhere to get tickets to a rock concert. Most of them are wearing Big Bang Theory shirts, hats, sweatshirts, etc and it's like a little community when you are waiting, kind of like the parking lot at a Grateful Dead concert without all the tie dye and drugs. I'm naturally a little shy in big groups of people but I felt very comfortable and outgoing here. It was easy to mingle with people I guess since everyone shared a common interest. I met 2 girls that said they went every week, I met some foreign tourists that just adored the show and were giddy that they got to go to a 'real Hollywood TV taping', I met a pilot from back East who was attending the taping during a layover between flights. For the taping I would prepare to make it a day production. Bring a book, magazines, snacks,-lots of them, a lawn chair or somewhere to sit comfortably because bench space is limited, bring cards or other games to play with the new friends you'll make. Bring sunscreen, a hat, better yet a small umbrella because part of the parking lot (yes, you are actually in a parking lot waiting) doesn't have shade. It's actually pretty fun as long as you treat it as a day- long event and come prepared. As for the show I was lucky enough to get a seat in the front row which made the experience so much better, I think it would be different if I was in the back rows because you can't see as much. You can tell that this cast and crew of this show were very special. At the end of the taping Kaley and Kunal gave out autographs. They thanked everyone and said that they were happy to be there and were happy to be able to be working in something that they loved. I wish Jim Parsons would have come out but he probably would have gotten mobbed due to Sheldon's popularity. I love this show and felt it was a great experience; I would definitely go again however the whole process would have been the biggest pain in the ass had I not absolutely adored the show.

Posted the same review on Google This place is great…read more We had an amazing experience today. My 6 year old had a 2 scene selftape to do, and we got it done including the slate in a very productive 45 minute session. My daughter had time to do several takes of each scene for some options and we never felt rushed. She wasn't nervous and felt totally at home. The prices are reasonable and the person we worked with was AMAZING. The files were edited and sent to me within the 45 minute session and we got to watch them back. 2 solid takes for each scene. Perfect.

His backdrop was fantastic. His lighting was perfect. His camera was game on. Everything was completely fantastic. Easy parking even offered me a giant water. I sent the audition to my agent who is very specific and he said this was probably the best audition he's seen in years and I've sent in some pretty good ones. I must tell you I was pleasantly surprised and I watched my tape over and over again and it's spot on fantastic. Josh was even nice enough to send it off using active access and editing. There's no way there's no reason to go to anyone else. This guy is five star and I'll be recommending him to my students and coming to him for years to come.
