Actors Comedy Studio is already an awesome studio for acting but now they have another amazing service. Gunnar has taken the time to create easy online booking, a place to get changed/ready (of course we have to vamp! We're actors lol!) and fantastic lighting and sound. I have dark skin and a lot of places do not create lighting that is flattering. My tape looked gorgeous! Gunnar is a seasoned pro with great, subtle feedback and direction. I've tried a lot of taping services and most get it wrong. They are supportive and excellent here! Thumbs wayyyyyy up!! Thanks Lauren and Gunnar you're the best! I will be back! =)))

It was very well run and we actually got to do some scenes on soundstages and NBC studios. I Remember Dave Madden walking into the class one day and saying he had a few extra seats in his voiceover class. I didn't take it but I have regretted it ever since.

(I'm a week after Yelper) Today's was "How to Package and Sell a TV Show", and the guest speaker was John Smith from HopLite. This guy is a BEAST. One of the biggest kudos I can give, is that John is secure enough to share ACTUAL, WORKING, USEFUL (insert other positive adjectives here) insider information! And some of it was the total opposite of the information that we first timers have been getting. Not only did he tell us "what", he told us "why" and it all made total smack-on-the-forehead--aha!" sense. Really glad I found this group, and am very much looking forward to attending future events.

Co-founders Selina Kaye and Mary Cruz have created a space that values an actor's time and money, offering unique self-tape opportunities and strong community to work with.

I've been to quite a few self taping businesses since I've been in L.A. and none of them come close to Hot shots. Jonathan is awesome and works extremely well with actors. It helps that he's an actor himself and that he is able to speak in actor's language. When you work with him he says all the right things that can take you where you need to go with your material. The conversation is always grounded in what is happening in the scene. I was referred to him by my manager after having a day's notice for a self tape. I went to his website booked an appointment for a self tape with coaching and Jonathan immediately responded. It was a fruitful experience and well worth the cost. I paid the extra $15 for a quick turnaround and received the final cut within a couple of hours! To top it off, my manager and agent commented on how well the tape came out. I highly recommended Hot Shots Self Taping to any actor that is seeking quality material! Lastly, if you find yourself needing reel material you should hit this place up as well. Jonathan and Yasmeen are extremely talented at what they do and make sure that the work you create is well suited for tv and film!
