I love doing Self Tapes with Ac, the Quality of their videos are Fantastic. However, the Coaching is abysmal, and not just because the coach doesn't know how to bring out of an Actor what's needed for a role, but also because he spends about 20 minutes of your time bragging about how he's been in TV...

I was the first appointment of the day. Mark was on time, professional, friendly, and informed about the project I was reading for. It's nice to be with a reader who did their homework. At $15, they are a bargain and a must use for any self-taped audition.
