FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS...We got answers :)
:: HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD I BOOK?
The last thing you want is to feel rushed during your audition. So give yourself plenty of time to do your best work. Your time should allow you the opportunity to do a few takes per scene, review them and then make a selection. Please be aware that 10 min of your session is allotted for us to download, edit and send you the final file. So here is a good rule of thumb:

Please be aware that 10 min of your session is allotted for us to download, edit and send you the final file. So here is a good rule of thumb:
- 30 min session: Max 3-4 pages of sides. Ideal for co-star, "meaty" c0-star audition and/or if you want to put a monologue on tape
- 1 hr session: Max 8-10 pages of sides. Ideal for those guest star and small recurring auditions where you have multiple sides and require different setups
- 1hr 30 min session: Max 10-15 pages. Ideal for series regular/ heavy recurring auditions and play auditions (Yes! They happen in LA).
:: WHAT DO I BRING?
Whatever you need to put your best take forward!
Whatever you need to put your best take forward!
- Change of clothes for a different side? Yes!
- A prop that might help you get grounded in the scene? Yup!
- Your own reader? You can, but you don't have to. We are actors too...so we are really great readers ;)
:: WHAT IF I AM LATE?
Unfortunately, if you are late, it will be deducted from your session time. Pending availability, you may be allowed to extend your time, but in the event that a session is booked after yours, you will only have the time available left in your booking to put your audition on tape. We get it...LA TRAFFIC SUCKS! That's why we recommend you arrive at your session 10-15 min in advance to give you plenty of time to find parking, prepare and get in the zone.

:: SO WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T USE ALL THE TIME I BOOKED?
We have to charge for the time you book, not the time you use. Once the time slot is booked, it prevents other clients from using that time slot. Follow the nifty guidelines above and that shouldn't be an issue.
