Welcome to the Self Tape Studio!

We know it can be tricky to find a reader, set up lighting, and crank out a great self tape last minute, which is why we offer a state-of-the-art self tape studio, available 7 days a week from 9am-10pm. Our taping team at Margie Haber Studio is dedicated to helping you audition with power and confidence! We pride ourselves on supporting actors in the room, giving them our all as their scene partners, ensuring the best taping experience possible, and delivering high-quality tapes quickly.

We want actors to look and feel their best while taping. Let us handle all the technical stuff, so you can focus on what you need to as the actor: creating and living the life.

Why choose Margie Haber Studio?

What you can expect when you tape with us:

A brand new Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K
Top-tier lighting and sound equipment, so casting directors can see and hear the nuances in your expressions and voice
MHS-trained, working actors as your readers
A stress-free, supportive environment that allows you to create without added pressure
Instant tape delivery before you leave (using WeTransfer or Airdrop)

Private Coaching

Private coaching and self taping are two separate services. If you would like to schedule a private coaching session with one of our instructors, and dive deep into character creation and imagination work prior to taping, please request a session here.

Alternatively, if you would prefer additional guidance or feedback throughout the length of your taping session, we offer an add-on option where you can receive coaching support from select readers. You can select this add-on coaching service when booking your tape for an additional $50.
