They taught perspective, embracing the digital age and much more. If you're thinking about doing this course then you'll thank yourself! Get on it!

b wally wallace

Greg's feedback is honest and kind, but also extremely useful which is an absolute must. I'm really appreciating getting a different type of insight into auditioning processes and what goes on for all the different people in the room. 

Natasha Nagle

Greg draws on years of experience to guide you to find your unique strengths and provide you incredible insights into the craft of auditioning and increase your chances to get noticed!!!

Alvin Maharaj

Both drop in classes I've taken, The Language of Self Tapes and Finding Your Niche Character, have helped me take more risks and trust myself more.

Adriana De Persia

The Audition Technique Agents masterclass is like a mini creative MBA for actors to level up and learn how to communicate with casting directors and their agents in actionable and intelligent ways.

Joanne Griffin

As well as providing honest and constructive one to one feedback on your self-tapes, Greg goes above and beyond in responding to questions and providing support in the webinars and online forums.

If you're serious about acting and want to break into the industry, or if you're already getting some work but want to take it to the next level, do yourself a favour and do the Self-Taping course.

Yasir Assam

After CCC i booked my first TV job - a regular role on ‘The Twelve’...opposite Sam Neill. (“Every day was an acting masterclass on set”) 

I will be forever grateful for CCC and your amazing feedback

Kaila Ferrelli

Self-Taping School comes chock full of practical advice. It’s a process of learning and implementing this information, but it is equally a process of unlearning. Greg flips the script on pretty much everything you THINK you know about self taping.

It has that seemingly paradoxical quality of being both unorthodox and yet bewilderingly obvious in hindsight.

Oliver Murdoch

The best investment you could make right now is doing this course. No question. This course is a total game changer and changes the language from "if only I could be seen" to "if only I do the work I can have the opportunities I deserve" -- just do it- oh and it's heaps for fun and the people are amazing who do it with you! JUST DO IT! amazing!!

Sancia Robinson

This course has been such a wonderful learning experience. I have gained the freedom to be myself on camera and that translates to more confident and freer choices in my self tapes. The insights that Greg has given are useful and so current to our rapidly changing world. I have thoroughly enjoyed working consistently on my craft because the Audition Technique allows you to work on your acting when it suits your schedule.

carmela diaz

This course has really opened my eyes to the possibilities of auditioning for camera, especially with self-taping. I have tools now which I certainly didn't have before and feel so much more confident about the process. 

Stephen Schreiber

Could not recommend this course highly enough. Greg's experience and knowledge together with his honesty and guidance is invaluable. I learnt so much from this course and it has inspired me more than I had imagined. 

Verity Martyn

A fantastic course that helped me articulate my innate qualities as an actor and understand how I was being viewed by casting directors. 

Ben Brighton

Creating Compelling Characters course has been one of the most useful tools for a recent film I was fortunate to be a part of here in NY. From wardrobe to mannerisms, Greg covers it all and always has a way of cutting through the noise and highlighting what actually shines on screen and in auditions. Highly recommended.

Liv Bosshard

Greg has an approach to self taping that will revolutionize the way you look at the process. I have worked with him, and guarantee it!

Richard Haylor

Very informative and valuable

Irina Apostolova Petkova

This excellent information is delivered in such a natural and engaging way - Awesome - Thank you Greg

kay flynn williams

Greg offers an astute insight into what it takes to be remembered. My previous learning had been how to be once I have attained a job, but then merely getting into the room and creating a lasting impression is an art in itself. I would absolutely recommend the TAT to those who need a kick and some extra motivation. My thinking has certainly changed! 

Joshua Peter White

Greg Apps offers generous insights into alternative ways to approach an audition, this is a rare opportunity for performers to hear what captures the attention of a Director, Casting Director, Producer and reconsider their own technique. Insightful, helpful and well worth watching on a weekly basis.

david jobling

At this stage in my life and career, I’m looking for a unique perspective on what industry professionals respond to and how to leverage what I bring to-the-table. My recent on-on-one with Greg was eye-opening, fun, insightful, and an exceptional learning experience. I’ll be a better actor as a result — and plan to continue the journey.

William Bloomfield

Greg enabled me to know myself better as an actor. His approach is innovative and freeing. Greg gives individual feedback from the Casting Director’s perspective. He increases an actor’s sense of ownership and flexibility in their work - he did for me - and I think what he's doing is great. You will never enjoy auditioning more than once you have been mentored by Greg.

kylie loveday

Best decision I've ever made to join up here. 

Would recommend a thousand times over!

Alyssa Stringfellow

AMAAZEBALLZ!!!

karyn Verco

Greg Apps and The Audition Technique team are fantastic! The Self Taping School is an opportunity to understand your brand as an actor and develop a confidence and individuality on screen. Watching the work of other members in the class was also a joy - these are all talented colleagues that offer the chance for collaboration and constructive critique of your work 

antonia zappia

Any actor serious about knowing how to be empowered to take control of their career simply cannot afford to skip this course.

Edric Hong

TAT has helped me understand my branding and provided tools and the environment for self-discovery in my acting and camera technique. It has challenged and empowered me to approach auditions with a sense of play, something I never thought I'd be able to do! Greg Apps 1-on-1 feedback is truly a gift. The experience of exchanging support with international classmates is invaluable. I highly recommend this class!

Sue Gerver

The entire process was personal, organized and WELL worth every penny. Greg has pushed the idea of being MORE confident and trusting my gut. Learning to free myself up in the frame for an audition and releasing myself for the "box" that we sometimes feel we have to live in within the self tape audition. My brand is going to be ready to go when the time comes through the awesome Character Selfies.

dustin lewis

I learnt how to sell myself in auditions. Still need to improve my marketing to decision makers but when I get an audition I know what to do and how to deliver a solid result, on a dime. All from Greg's guidance.

gil balfas

Words cannot describe the intensity or the effectiveness of the Self Taping School. It is an opportunity not to be missed. Everyone can benefit from undertaking Greg's course, as it allows and demands for the actor to think a little differently when it comes to self tapes.

nate gothard

Best workshop I have done in years! Not only are you getting great advice, you become part of a very supportive group. And it is addictive

Sophie Lepkowic

This has been game changer for me! The personal advice and feedback from Greg after each self-tape submitted, the podcasts, industry tips, and audition advice has been instrumental in moving me forward. Knowing and finding your own brand is key. 

I now have a better understanding of the business side of our industry thanks to Greg. The support is incredible!

trudy ager

Could not recommend this course enough! So much information, support and learning! Do yourself a favour and sign up!

nikki gibson

An insightful course, into YOU, enormously generous and enriching your skills as an actor and person for life.

joel pierce

It's a freeing and highly valuable 6 weeks. It reignites and empowers you to trust your instincts and to let go. Greg also passes on his great insight into the world from his perspective, equipping you with an objective eye to see how a casting director approaches the self taping world and casting. Learn to build your brand and business and become savvy with self taping.

jake lyall

The self taping school is nothing short of remarkable. It felt more like individual coaching and mentoring than an online course. The feedback and advice from Greg along the journey is personal, honest and empowering. What's more, I have enhanced my industry networking (across the globe now) and developed some great and supportive contacts. In short, I will never self test the same way again.

stephen walker

I thoroughly enjoyed learning and practicing my self-taping skills with The Audition Technique. Wonderful and insightful webinars, Greg and Adam share a great deal of knowledge and experience to help inform and empower actors to take charge of their careers and navigate the industry. Do yourself a favour!

melissa brattoni

Personal, honest and constructive feedback from a working casting director with 30+ years experience in the industry. Greg's insights, knowledge and witticisms are priceless.

sarah bliss

The best course i did for my career, not only for auditions but also for my career path. Greg Apps is really good at finding your individual talents that your acting coach wouldn't even consider. Now I know how to survive in this business not worrying about competing with super model looking actresses.

Just do it! You will grow fast to the right direction!

lark lee

Words can't describe how good this Audition Technique course is! It's so much more than just a course, it is a game changer! Greg's wisdom is empowering and the team surrounds you with support, guidance and friendship. I am completely in love with this group and feel like I have an extended family who are supportive through the good and bad times

jodi haigh

Greg and Robyn completely changed my perspective on how to tackle the audition. Can't recommend this course enough.

benji gee

I highly recommend the Self Taping school to my fellow actors. Greg has an amazing out of the box approach to self tapes, that really puts the power in the actors hands. 10/10

Daniel Warren

Fantastic course to help you produce memorable self test audition videos. Just do it!

luke koster

Greg teaches his students the ins & outs of filming your own self tapes, offering knowledge bombs of wisdom into networking and reaching out to the right people without being considered 'one of those actors'. If you are an actor looking to improve on your acting/audition abilities or learning how to showcase yourself to the right people (the right way) then I thoroughly recommend you participate in the courses offered. You will love it and grow from it.!

david clark

Fantastic course. Highly reccomend it to anyone at any stage of their acting career. Greg's personal feedback is insightful, in-depth and extremely helpful. The lessons are informative and really open you up to a new take on the skill of Self-taping. Really changed my perspective on a lot of things to do with self-taping and self-testing and I truly believe I am a better, more rounded actor for it.!

rob standfield

I have learned so much and become so much more comfortable in the industry and with what I can personally bring to the industry because of Greg and Robbie in TAT. No matter where you are in your career-you will definitely get what you need from this one of a kind course and personal contact with Greg and Robbie.

Samantha Jessica Skelton

This course opened up my world, to the world (literally). It created opportunities within Australia and overseas that were not possible before I acquired multi-dimensional viewpoints on how the industry and the casting process works from behind the scenes and myself as a brand and business. Empowering is just one word to describe it. It's a must have for any actor who takes their work seriously and wants to stay in the game for the long-term.

Tsu Shan Chambers

Best decision I've made for my Acting career.

korey williams

Such a good opportunity to get invaluable feedback directly from an experienced casting director. It helps you to feel empowered and in charge! I left the course with a much higher level of confidence regarding self-tapes than before and also a new understanding of myself as an actor. I would highly recommend this course to actors of all levels!

louise harding

What I love about TAT is that it is a course that is on YOUR side.

 I always look forward to any opportunity i get as far as self testing goes. I have been more successful with gaining roles through self tests than ever before. Undoubtedly the best training I have ever had, and I urge anyone who is 'thinking about' this course - just do it. Seriously...you won't know yourself. Be open, work hard and you will see results.

tracie filmer

Recently had a one on one with Greg, the insight and audition prep was priceless. This is the school of thought all actors should have when auditioning. Can't praise this enough. As an actor who has struggled with delivering straight auditions over the years, this technique is empowering.

Kieton Beilby

I feel so privileged to have had this golden opportunity to be mentored for 6 weeks by Greg Apps. I had heaps of fun and have come out of his self-taping course feeling empowered, armed with a ton more knowledge, a greater, grander vision for myself and friendship within the STS community! 

Dhiya Redding

This has got to be the best course I have engaged in. Even for a digital snail like myself Greg guided us all the way through. And its not just self taping guys , this course is the whole package. It is a must for today's actors to be in the know about what casting directors "really " want and Greg hits the nail on the head 

karyn Verco

If you want an intense course and an honest assessment of your work then this is for you. A hands on practical approach with a road map to navigate through the dos and don’ts of the self taping world. I now feel incredibly confident in my ability to deliver a self-tape with the right edge. My desire to continue creating, developing and experimenting with this digital platform has been ignited.

kate Bonney

This is a very worthwhile and rewarding program that builds ability, confidence and independence. An opportunity to work on creating character, developing an understanding of ways to use the screen performance frame and trust that you can bring something unique. The high level, personally tailored feedback is invaluable. Highly recommended.

Joseph James Uel Taylor

What I love about TAT is that it is a course that is on YOUR side.

 It is empowering, practical and progressive. It sheds light on what seems to be invisible but which is actually right at our fingertips. Somewhere along the course you will find yourself going: ‘…hold on a second… so to some extent it is possible to be in the driver’s seat as an actor!’

Lena Sandberg

Honest feedback on self-tapes, fantastic guidance on how to develop your brand, tips galore on how to operate within the industry. I have become so comfortable in front of the camera and now approach auditions with a very different mindset and greater confidence. Being part of the closed FB group allows you to learn from others too and expand your connections. This course is sensational - too good to miss!!!

susie sparkes

An arsenal of tools to help you nail your next audition. The mentoring I received from Greg is top notch. He helps you understand his approach and thinking, micro managing you to become a much smarter actor. Thank you so much Greg, this journey has been extraordinarily inspiring, wish I had taken this class sooner. I highly recommend this course to any aspiring actor at any level, you wont regret it!!

Kim To

Greg really helped me take ownership of my tapes, freeing me up and making me feel more confident about bringing my whole self to my work.

He gives personalised, specific and accurate feedback to you each week, along with video lessons and webinars, all of which I found super helpful!

Genevieve Kent

Greg’s weekly feedback has been so incredibly helpful with trying to navigate this hectic industry as an actor. Getting answers from an industry professional in the casting world has cleared up so much of the mystery behind landing (and not landing) roles. 6 weeks of hard work well spent! 

emma burnside

I had one on one mentoring with Greg who helped me understand straight away how I could be marketing myself differently to gain traction in my acting career. He was engaging, perceptive and encouraging. Greg reviewed my reel and headshots thoroughly and made observations I'd entirely overlooked. I walked away with a strategy to take me to the next tier,

anita barnes

Greg awakens actors to the communication tools we have at our fingertips and empowers actors with the right thinking/skills to delivering memorable and individual auditions. I’m now setting career goals in place and am actually EXCITED about my future auditions, rather than just anxious to book work! An absolute must for any actor who’s serious about their career.Highly recommended!

Simon Lee

Greg's insight has changed the way I view my career. I couldn't recommend this course enough to anyone who wants to reach another level in their acting career. 

gerard G h

Had a fantastic 1 on 1 with Greg! I was struggling a bit with making the decision on what my next steps after graduating from acting school would be and Greg was really helpful with determining those.

ange lina

The journey/enlightenment you receive from his online self tape course is worth every penny spent. He will open your eyes & help get you on the right path to have the best opportunities to be remembered in your audition which will eventually lead to the call that you booked the role! You will learn valuable little things that can make a difference in your audition. 

trey miller

Understanding the FREEDOM & OWNERSHIP you have in a selftape! I cannot recommend these courses enough! Greg drops so much GOLD in each lesson, empowering every actor with the tools to understand and create MEMORABLE characters and auditions!

Sunny S Walia

"The power is in my hands" - and that's what I've experienced in this fantastic 6 weeks workshop. I can highly recommend this extraordinary journey, it's so empowering. Gregs lessons and feedback are valuable beyond words. Good as gold!!!

Ruth Marie Kröger

I recently had a one on one with Greg Apps. The conversation didn't go where I thought it would, as Greg offered insight as to why there were other parts of my work that needed attention before I could get to where I wanted to be. I highly recommend the 1 on 1 sessions, and I will definitely be back for another one when I need Greg's invaluable and honest guidance.

heather valentine

I just finished a fantastic 1 on 1 meeting with Greg! Exactly what I needed to get out of the comfort zone and adjust my focus!

Ruth Pieloor

Practical advice and insights into the business of acting and exercising creative instincts and abilities.

john rogers

I can’t recommend TAT enough!!

As well as some incredibly valuable knowledge, I have ended up with some very tangible and useful items to help me in my career, mainly a bank of self tapes and unscripted selfies, ready to be sent out for specific roles.

I ended up applying for a role in a pilot episode, via submission of a self and i got the role.

Reena Barnes

Thinking outside the box!

Al Saks

I learned so much about the audition process. Greg’s tools and enlightening observations from a CDs pov, helped release blocks I had remembering lines. I found Creating Compelling Characters course invaluable. Not only on screen, but I also learned to promote myself in the cyber world too. Very empowering. 

Gael Ballantyne

This has been the best course to do. The information is invaluable and makes you think outside the box . With honesty constructive feedback that makes you grow and improve. Thank to all at TAT. Looking forward to doing more of your courses.

Donna Delaney

I live far away from the major casting locations. Thanks to the skills I have learnt from TAT I have maintained a constant stream of guest roles in major productions. As Greg says, “It’s a digital world”. This is where I got the training and the skills to deliver quality self tests at short notice to the biggest casting houses in the country. This is where my career started.

Rowan Howard

Greg’s guidance, constructive feedback and generosity is second to none.

The structure of this course kept me inspired and challenged. Greg’s encouragement to break ‘the rules’ and create the freedom to build my characters for the auditioning space was liberating.

Casting Directors want us to succeed!

Jump in, explore and learn from the best in Oz.

Linda P O'Grady

Wow, wow, wow! That was the best acting course I ever did. Greg has the most amazing energy to support actors. No techniques, it is about creating characters. What I really gained is: to take ownership of the character and my actors life. I learned to push myself further on without anybody working with me, but myself.

Stefanie Schuster

The Creating Compelling Characters course has been a game changer for my career. Both Robyn and Greg’s guidance and encouragement are second to none and I have learnt more in the last 6 weeks than I have in years of acting classes. I am now eagerly awaiting Self Tape School and urge anyone who is considering signing up to get to it ASAP!

Maddy Tyers

He's very specific and supportive. He gives examples that are easy to grasp and understand and he is encouraging and positive. He wants to help the actor to embrace their individuality and to share that in their audition or self-tapes. To try to stay away from conformity. To help them to be remembered.

Kathleen Renish

If you are serious about your acting then you need to invest in your career by enrolling in both the Self taping School and Creating Compelling Characters courses. These courses will educate and equip you to be audition ready and express confidence in the characters you are born to play.

Kenji Lee

Greg Apps is a precursor, an outside-the-box thinker who brings you to his side of the (self-tape) screen. You can’t help but feel like an athlete, activating and constantly training your acting muscles, getting stronger week after week, gaining confidence and taking ownership of your own brand and career.

Melissa Mars

What I loved about this course is it's structured in such a way that, step by step, you learn new behaviours to assist with not only your audition delivery but also your career delivery. You learn to see your work as a Casting Director might. You learn to deliver character in a more memorable way. And you learn how to put your best foot forward. 

Nikki Waterhouse Hall

Greg Apps changed my whole way of of thinking about audition tapes. I have no doubt he will change yours too.

Kim Chastain

I had a fantastic one on one with Greg recently. Just a nice chat about moving forward with a demo reel and characters. He is so insightful and helpful. He makes sense with simple, easy to understand ideas. Sometimes as Actors we can over-complicate things. Well I can anyway. Greg's approach just makes sense!

Michelle McDonnell

I had an absolute blast and highly recommend.

Nick Kennett

The Creating Compelling Character's course has been an absolute game changer in the way I approach self tapes/auditioning. Greg is completely honest and constructive in his feedback and will tell you how it is when you're off the mark. Highly recommended!

Jose Luigi Talite

I love the Drop-In Classes! They are a guilty pleasure. I get to try on different characters, work with techniques and get World Class feedback. Greg is a terrific mentor. He delivers the lesson and the feedback in a clear concise manner that is invigorating.

Elizabeth Darcy Hope

I find it rare to be given feedback that I haven't heard before but I must say that the feedback Greg gave me contained all new information and shined a light on the areas of self taping that I didn't know I need to focus on. Thank you Greg and Robyn!

Natasha Dai

It’s probably the most efficient no BS acting course I’ve ever taken. Greg goes straight to the issue like a masseuse attacking a trigger point. Highly recommended. He puts you on the right path and removes a lot of the fluff out of the audition process.

Tian Tan

This course completely changed the way I viewed self tapes. There was so much valuable information and Greg was such a helpful instructor. You can tell he really has a passion for acting, being unique and authentic, and helping his students reach where they want to go.

Elsha Mahr

If you’re an actor wanting to expand your self taping skills and receiving feedback to continue to explore new characters and territory, I would highly recommend doing Greg Apps.

Elisha Moore

It's an opportunity to get feedback from a master of his profession in the safety of your home, not a crowded classroom which allows you to take risks.

Mark Evans

This course is far more than "how to audition"; it teaches you "How to GET the audition"!

Highly recommend for all actors from beginners to veterans, freelance to represented.

Matthew Keating

The Audition Technique has helped me think outside the box; I enjoy the audacious approach to self-taping. Cheers, Greg.

Luke George Styles

With Greg's guidance, we get a unique opportunity to see our craft from a perspective we so often fret over but so rarely understand. This knowledge is power to the actor!

Andy C. Stokes

Empowering, honest and valuable! I found that Greg has his unique way of making actors realise their power and strengths, and where these could be applied to get more work in the industry.
