Welcome to The Actor’s Saga: Self Tape Intensive, a transformative 4 week program designed to sharpen your self tape technique, elevate your on camera presence, and empower you to deliver performances that feel grounded, dynamic, and unmistakably yours.

Led by Rich and industry guests, this intensive is built on the same coaching philosophy that drives our longer actor training programs: acting that begins from impulse, thrives in connection, and is rooted in emotional truth. Whether you are new to the craft or looking to deepen your existing practice, this course meets you where you are and pushes you forward with clarity and purpose.

Two Tracks. One Purpose.

The Focused Track

For newer actors or those returning to the craft

In the Focused class, you will work on two carefully selected scenes over four weeks. This slower pace allows time to dig deep into character, story, and camera technique. Each scene is prepared independently between classes and brought in ready to film, explore, and refine through in class coaching and redirection. You will learn how to bring presence and truth into the frame in a way that resonates with casting directors and decision makers.

Limited to 10 actors
No audition required
Emphasis on core technique and self tape fundamentals
4 hours per week across 4 weeks
You receive two polished scenes to keep and use

The Intensive Track

For experienced actors ready to stretch their range

The Intensive class is by application and audition only. This track is designed for actors with a strong technical foundation and the drive to push themselves further. You will work on a new scene each week, resulting in four distinct tapes that reflect your range, versatility, and casting potential. This class moves fast and challenges you to stay prepared, responsive, and creatively engaged at a high level.

Why Train With Rich

Rich’s coaching draws from years of professional industry experience and an actor centered philosophy grounded in presence, impulse, and lived truth. This work is not about forcing outcomes or chasing techniques. It is about removing what's in the way and letting what is already there come forward.

Each class becomes a practical lab where your instincts and technique align, helping you create performances that feel alive and unmissable.

The Weekly Format

Each week, you prepare your scene on your own and bring it into class ready to shoot. Across the four hour class, Rich will coach and direct your performance, helping you shape a take that feels specific, bold, and uniquely yours. You will receive tailored feedback and direction focused on emotional clarity, technical precision, and honest connection. Scenes are filmed in a professional in studio setup and delivered to you at the end of the course.

This is not about manufacturing the perfect take. It is about discovering what only you can bring to the role and putting that truth on camera with confidence and clarity.
