Everything you need to write about us

Short

TapeReady publishes tested self-tape guides for actors — lighting, sound, framing and delivery — written by people who tape weekly.

Long

The working actors, editors and camera assistants who test every setup TapeReady recommends. Every setup is built and shot in ordinary rooms — rented apartments, hallways, hotel rooms — so readers can copy it with one lamp and a phone.

Dana Reyes

Editor — lighting and setups

Self-tape coach who builds and shoots every lighting setup we publish, usually in a bedroom smaller than the one you are working in.

Marcus Hale

Audio and gear reviews

Camera assistant and location sound mixer. Runs every microphone through real submissions before it earns a spot in the gear picks.

Priya Nair

Workflow, apps and file delivery

Working actor who tapes weekly. Tests the editing apps, naming conventions and upload paths casting offices actually accept.

Jordan Okafor

Casting insight and fact checking

Former casting associate. Checks claims about what readers on the other side of the tape can and cannot see.
