Why Most Self-Tapes Don't Book

You can't coach yourself
on what you can't see.

Most actors review their own tapes and think: looks fine to me. That's the problem. The camera sees things you don't. Casting sees things you won't.

"I don't know if my performance is landing or if I just think it is."

"I keep self-taping but I'm not booking — and I don't know why."
