Auditioning & Self-Taping keep evolving. Here’s how to meet the moment with success!

Right now the Industry relies on Self-Tapes and Zoom callbacks to book actors. While you have more information available about Casting than ever before, how do you cut through the chatter and step into your power in your auditions- be it a self-tape, Zoom callback, or any on-camera work? 

So many actors want to stand out in their auditions, but the mistake they make is looking for the hook outside of themselves. The secret is that you are the hook. You are the goldmine. Your truth and your humanity. This work is about consistently integrating that into your approach and your practice, creating connection, community, creative empowerment, and confidence. 

Over the course of these 8 weeks in the Audition Bootcamp, David, Risa, Steve, and Jamie guide you to hone in on your authentic voice and all the power YOU hold every time you show up for an audition, self-tape, or Zoom callback. You explore the work right from where YOU are now, and acquire practical tools to bring your boldest, truest, most alive self to all your on-camera and virtual work. Our teachers share decades of expertise and passion to help you let go of fear, adopting a more genuine, more joyful, and more alive way of auditioning and taping, and showing up on camera with presence, with ease, fully dropped into the story, all cylinders firing. Your most impactful audition is actually a living, dynamic piece of work- happening in real time and moving your audience on an emotional level. Then your job is to surrender to the camera (in your living room, a studio, or a Zoom space) and move your audience.

Not easy… but DOABLE. And we will show you how!

"David gives you the license to make bold choices in your work. He creates a safe environment to play, make mistakes, and figure out what works for you in any given scene. He has years of practical experience working on sets and is keenly aware of the specific needs of actors. He is a powerful artist who also happens to be incredibly sensitive and kind — basically, everything I could ask for in a teacher."

"David DeSantos is a deeply soulful, incredibly generous actor and artist. His enormous heart and deep compassion for other artists allows him to hold a space that inspires bigger risk taking and a deeper commitment to my own work. Anyone lucky enough to work with him will experience the same!"

- Elisabeth Hower, SUITS

"This is such a great self-tape class! Having Risa as a teacher is such a gift and I keep coming back! This class really takes the mystery and fear I have about self-tapes away and I now feel ready and confident to send one off! I have taken a handful of classes at BGB and I always learn so much! It’s a wonderful community to be a part of."
