Specialist Workshop - Self Tape Masterclass
Melbourne

Are you an aspiring performer ready to launch your career in the professional entertainment industry? One essential skill you will need to master is creating Self Tapes.

A 'self tape' is  an audition that you film yourself, instead

of attending in-person at the casting agent’s studio. ​Whether you see your future on stage or screen, these days, the majority of casting happens online - and that means performers who can film sharp, confident self tapes fast are the ones booking the roles.

Want to stand out and hit “send” with confidence? Our Masterclass will level up your self tape game and get you closer to your dream roles.

Here’s what you'll learn:

  • How to film like a pro using gear you already have. We’ll cover lighting, framing, sound, backgrounds, blocking, and how to hit your eye-line (without staring into space).

  • How to break down scripts and deliver your best takes. You’ll learn how to make bold choices that still feel real - and pick the performance take that will help you stand out.

  • Basic editing, file naming and submission tips so you don’t get lost in a casting inbox.​​​​

Reuben Liversidge Talent Company of Australia

REUBEN LIVERSIDGE
Head Talent Agent

Reuben began his career with Stage School Australia as a student before moving into teaching, and has now worked for the company for over 15 years. Reuben has been instrumental in the establishment of the Talent Company of Australia as a well-respected Melbourne agency. 

 

Reuben studied Theatre and Cinema at the Victorian College of Arts and LaTrobe University. He has appeared on both stage and screen throughout his career as a performer. As a young actor, Reuben starred in 2 seasons of the classic Australian TV series Round the Twist as well as guest roles in Blue Heelers and Driven Crazy. Reuben has also featured in several TV commercials for big brands, including Toyota, Medibank and Dare Ice Coffee. Reuben was a founding member of international theatre company, Four Larks, and has performed in several of their works over the years, including a successful tour across the U.S. in 2014. Reuben is also a freelance reviewer for theatre and film, contributing many reviews for leading industry website ArtsHub.

 

Reuben brings a depth of knowledge and experience to his role as Head Talent Agent. He has a deep understanding of what it takes to start out in the industry as a young performer and prides himself on guiding new talent to achieve their dreams.

 

“I joined TCA almost 10 years ago when I was just 15 years old and was very green to the industry. Reuben helped me on my journey to start auditioning for serious projects, which led me to quickly securing my first job less than a year later as a supporting role in the TV series ‘Nowhere Boys’.

 

Not only has he been there to support my journey, Reuben has always had my best interests at heart and not to mention been my number one fan helping me to succeed and achieve greatness.

 

Reuben has always been there day and night to help, whether I’ve been nervous for an audition or even stressed for a role. Even in times of struggle, he has remained reassuring and stuck by my side for anything I’ve had to go through in my acting career.”
