Self-Tape Comparison Project


After an auditon, I have

always wondered

who got the job ... and why?


In this series I look back at self-tapes,

compare them to clips from the

actual shows, and try to figure out

what I got wrong ... or right.

(I definitely did both.)


Draw your own conclusions.


I can't promise that watching these

will get you every job,

but you may feel better

about the jobs you don't book!

Because it's not just skill ...                              

                               it's also a game of chance.



This series is not intended

to diagnose or treat

any disorder or disease.

See your doctor.

Ask your tax professional.

Call your agent.


"Your mileage may vary"

For those times I've had someone read the other characters for me ...
