"I HIGHLY recommend The Craft Tape Studio"

"I was so delighted when I discovered Craft Self Tape! [...] The work was top notch, everything looked fantastic, and my agents were very happy. I HIGHLY recommend [The] Craft Tape Studio. My only regret is that they don't have this idea in the city I live in! 5 Stars, for sure!"

"I'll be using The Craft Self Tape Studio for all my self tapes needs in Toronto from now on!"

"So happy I came across The Craft Self Tape Studio! Flexible availability with affordable services, mobile options, and immediate response made it an easy choice. [...] Jesse has great instinct when it comes to work. He's not pushy as I've experienced with others before, and I was grateful for his insight. The tape looked and sounded amazing, and more importantly (to me) the experience was comfortable and I felt confident with the work I'd done because of it.
I'll be using The Craft Self Tape Studio for all my self tapes needs in Toronto from now on!"

If you watch your self tape on mute can you still understand what's happening in the story? Film and TV is a story told with pictures, and even without audio our brains try to make sense of the narrative. What story does your tape tell? torontoselftape.com Featuring: @_jenna_.s

Incredibly proud moment for me. Both Blaise @blaisecrocker and Leishe @lord_leesh will be jetting off to different parts of the country for the next month to shoot leads in feature films. They couldn’t be more deserving. They are both so incredibly generous and giving with their talents, always making our clients' auditions the best they can be. It is no surprise that the Universe recognizes what they do for others. If you want more proof that The Craft has the best team of coaches in the city… this is it. Break legs, you two. And… Because we'd be waaaaay too busy to just have me for a whole month… Our dear friend Parmida @oneunderpar is returning to the Studio to help out while they are both away! Fresh off the heels of releasing a brand new album "4-7 Company" Have a listen wherever you stream. @paterverse
