A great and simple setup that takes a lot of the stress of making self-tapes. So you can just focus on the material and get great suggestions on how to strengthen your performance. I highly recommend Take Up Space.

Working with Take Up Space you will experience diligence and heart. If you’re feeling nervous or cynical you’ll be reminded that you have options, to be calm and playful at the same time. If you’re in your head you will be grounded. It is acting coaching that focuses on you just as much as it helps you “get the job.”

When I have a big audition, Take Up Space is always my first call. They’re reliable, patient, and always on point with insights. I get clear and simple perspectives which helps me strip away bad habits and refocus on the core of a scene and character. This place forces me to take my time and leads me to answer crucial questions, instilling me with confidence in my work. I never feel more prepared for an audition than when I’m here.

Game changer. I was having months of going into TV/Film auditions having no real sense of the work. After one session, being guided towards a very clear approach, I suddenly had my first film callback. And two weeks after that I actually booked the job (my first job). This place is great at analyzing scripts and offers wonderful guidance to making your storytelling as clear and impactful as possible. I walk out of the room feeling like I have clearly told the story, regardless of how “connected” I felt that particular day at the audition. I highly recommend bringing Take Up Space in on your process. I know I will continue to do so.

I think every actor works hard to bring the art of storytelling into the room for an audition. But sometimes sides don’t give you everything you need to really dig deeper with your character. Not only did I feel prepared and confident walking into my audition, I truly believe this coaching allowed me to honor the story and find the specificity I needed to tell the story of the play. Which led to a callback! Take Up Space helped me find the specificity I needed to really lock into the material, but also keep the ease and humanity in my acting. I found myself discovering new choices due to simple questions and a detailed breakdown of the script. The coaching is specific and the delivery is easeful which allowed me to stay in the reality of the character and the honesty of the text.

Take Up Space helped me bring my audition sides into razor-sharp clarity. I was able to step into my on-camera auditions with the deep specificity that allows for free-wheeling play - this coaching is a gift!

I’ve worked with Take Up Space on at least a dozen occasions. Professional, knowledgeable, and gives incredibly insightful feedback. Definitely recommend working with Take Up Space.

Take Up Space is great about taking the time to talk through what you’re interested in portraying in your scene and will offer ideas on what can be done to make your scene more realistic and honest to what is on the page. It led me to book a role on a network show and getting pinned for a feature film.

I always tend to get very nervous and anxious when receiving a self tape request. I would get in my head and would scramble to find a reader or a set up last minute. The more I work with Take Up Space, the more confident, relaxed, playful and spontaneous auditioning becomes to me.

I always leave sessions feeling confident to execute my game plan and tell the story that feels most honest to me. It’s all about trusting the work one has already put in. And I trust the foundations I’ve laid with Take Up Space for auditions and recommend this service to any actor looking to enter a room relaxed to do their best work.

Diligent. Precise. Exceptional. Take Up Space has helped me elevate my performance.

Take Up Space’s ability to help an actor crack open a scene is unmatched! The adjustments always help me to get out of my own way, while also aiding in crafting a slice of life. Take Up Space understands actors and is able to lead with an openness and curiosity that very few possess.

So I read for this piece with a character that arrives at a renewed sense of purpose, and the way Take Up Space led and guided me through elements of one of the speeches ended up giving me a renewed sense of why I do what I do. I think that’s special because not everybody can get you to that place in the work and tailor it so perfectly that you learn more about yourself in the process. Take Up Space is inspiring, gives you hope, encouragement, and has the ability to transcend just the ‘work’ with something that is more personal and motivational to you. And I book! (That’s the icing on the cake.) You’ll do yourself a great service when you need to self tape.

Take Up Space transformed the way I look at TV and film auditions. The approach to script analysis allows me to quickly find a scene’s intention, inner life, and helps me bring to life my version of the character. And always led me toward a more relaxed and full presence.
