Thank you!!

Amazing personality, info, and video editing. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Thank you so much for this.......a huuuuggge help!!!!!

Hi Sèverine, I had several agent meetings and I’ve made my final decision. I’m wondering how I go about telling the other agents I’m picking someone else and when is the proper time period to get back to them all, the meetings were last week

Thank you so much for posting this! I have to do a love scene for a self tape and I really don’t want my friends or family members reading for me…

I looooove épices creole...I need mooooore

going to prague in may and as i’m sure watching a bunch of prague travel vlogs they just weren’t doing it for me- this is exactly wat i needed, as a fellow film photographer its great to see the city through another photographer’s eyes im so excited to go take pics!!

cheers babe!! loved this video!

The editing for extra is annoying as hell

So dope! Just watch allyuh on Hanna now. Love from NY!

Great video! Thank you!!

This is a comforting video. I've been doing it the way you show with Audacity before I ever saw your video. Great minds think alike. It amazes me that I can never find anyone to read lines with me. I ask and they seem to think I'm going to poison them and they run and hide. Also, nowadays there are online Ai sites where you can put in the text of your choice and choose a Voice and it spits out your text in that voice. Sounds mostly realistic too.

Ugh! Thank you!!! ❤

I'm new to this industry and have been asked to submit self-tapes- love these videos!! And your humour!! Such a vibe- thanks so much for these tutorials ❤

I'm an actor I'm going to get myself a laptop pretty soon just to record someone else's dialogues why mainly want to cold read my own

I just love this video! Not only very engaging and funny but so helpful! I'm just at the beginning of my journey with acting and there are many pearls here. Thank you so much!

Hi, just found this and its really useful. Thanks and I also enjoyed you on Hanna!!!😊

This is so helpful thank you angel!

I was in Prague a number of weeks ago and was overwhelmed by its beauty. Rather than trying to compose shots, I just ended up snapping. It will take me ages to go trough the rubbish 😱

This is brilliant! I have been searching for a no reader hack. Thank you, and I can't wait to try it out. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Marry me.

🤣😂🥰😍

simply genius

Name of app

You can do this AND video tape yourself as the other actor and respond your yourself!! You can get your REACTION!!

Youre self tape was so good. ♥️

Hey, @severinehowellmeri. When will "General" Lima return in a future season 2 We Baby Bears episode after the great veggie war? I love your voice as Lima so much.

Just found your channel. Make more videos! You're so good at it. Hope you're busy in the industry. Much love.

This video is fabulous and YOU are fabulous! Thank you!!! Kisses from Brazil! 💜

I've been doing self tapes for years and this is so useful! Thanks for sharing all this cool stuff. Your focus during the tape is really interesting - very specific. I can see why you book/get recalls.

I absolutely love this girl. My son is doing self tapes. So I came here to get trained! Would love to keep touch. This video was HILARIOUS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You're the best---thank you so much!!!!!

This is super helpful! What are your thoughts about what to wear for tapes for period roles? I'm taping for a fantasy series and don't know if I should wear a tunic/cloak, or just a button-up shirt. Thoughts?

This is great! My only add on would be that once you can afford to, buy a decent mic to record the lines, similar to what you would buy if you were interested in doing voiceover work. (It doesn't have to be expensive, my lovely Sudotack was 35 quid second hand.) The mic will help to reduce room noise and/or make it easier to remove room noise in editing, so you don't hear it in between the silenced moments giving away the fact that you are responding to a recording.

The intro is iconic 💅💅

Pure gold dust, thank you, these self tapes are going to be more pricey then I thought.

I am gobsmacked!!! I did everything you demonstrated in this video and was so glad that I already use audacity for voice over work. I had the final step to go....change the pitch...and it is not in my effects list!!! I have spent hours looking for an alternative, trying Change tempo and Change speed to no avail. Somebody please HELP!!!!

This is absolutely brilliant!! And while setting up this recording & getting it perfect, it helps you memorize your lines as well. For the first time in about 3 years, I'm actually looking forward to my next audition!! Like you said, I may not choose to do this all the time but it's a fantastic alternative to what has become quite mundane.

So goood!!!

Appreciate the vid thanks. Do you use the selfie camera or the front camera when self taping? Looks like the selfie in this vid. Thanks again!

YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER SEV! Goal for 2023 is to sort out my American accent and this has already proved to be super useful, so much information, but you make it so clear and easy to digest! ❤❤❤

You're so charming. I wish you an Oscar!

Thanks so much for this WONDERFUL brilliant video.....I am always making myself crazy 🤪 with this and I will use your suggestions today for a self tape ..,,fingers crossed 🤞

Good my friend

God bless

Thaaank you for this!!

Damn - you killed those self tape scenes! Thank you for all your helpful advice!

Super unlikely I'll get a response but your videos have been inspiring me a lot. I'm 28 years old from Scotland. Do you think it's too late to get into acting? I always dreamt of being an actor, I done stage performances from around 10 years old up until I was 17, unfortunately I was a late bloomer, I didn't go through puberty until I was 19 (I know, most guys go through this at 13). I guess one perk is I've always been behind, so I look younger than I actually am which is an accidental benefit, sometimes I feel really embarrassed that 23-25 year olds feel years more mature than me, but it's also my fault of hiding from the age of 18-24 and being afraid of socialising. I started socialising again at 25. Photography was one of my outputs, street photography, that's actually how I found you and hearing you were an actor was very inspiring, you seemed so confident/happy and in complete peace with yourself that I couldn't help but feel inspired. I recently decided I want to jump into acting because I don't feel ''old'' at 28. But when I think of people who started at 16-21, I certainly feel behind in life. I wouldn't be able to join a school until I was 29, and at that point it makes me wonder if I even got in would I be in with a bunch of 18-21 year olds and they'd think I'm pathetic? I still suffer some mental health torture from those years of isolation, it's probably noticeable in my typing. I already have the odds against me being from Scotland, does being late to the acting world make it worth it? I found a course here in Scotland that's a 1 year course, rather than a 3 year course, and I often get tempted to just go for it but god am I petrified. I wish more people seemed as excitable and passionate as you, because I'd probably be less intimidated by humans.

Hey everyone! Quick update, a couple of people have mentioned the app line learner working great too. I’ve used it since posting this video and it does work well, only thing is, I didn’t find it super user friendly and you can’t change the pitch of the readers lines like you can on audacity, so it’s obvious it’s a recording of yourself. However, I’ve booked jobs from using line learner so it doesn’t seem to matter too much. Thought I’d mention that incase anyone wants another solution ☺️

Often on youtube when people show self-tapes the reader's voice is barely possible to hear (on the cell phone at least), if without a speaker, what can be a solution to that? Also the condenser mics (like the one you showed in your other self tape tutorial) usually work better if you are very close to the mic. I wonder what affordable equipment one can use in such case to make the sound recording louder? Apart from boosting it in post production
