At Spotlight Self Tapes, you can count on showcasing the best take of your performance at the highest cinematic level. Unlike most self tape services in New York, we exclusively use top-of-the-line digital cinema equipment (view our standard equipment here) because we believe professional results require professional tools.
We can accommodate musical theater auditions with an audio file of accompaniment or, with prior arrangement, can move a keyboard into the room (though you’ll need to provide your own accompanist). Our studio-quality audio gear ensures you always sound your best!
View standard services below, or contact us for additional services from on-location audition taping to original short films for your reel.
Our hours are 9am-9pm Monday-Friday and 11am-6pm Saturday-Sunday. After-hours booking may be available on a case-by-case basis for an additional 20% fee, email spotlightselftapes@lupoblu.com to inquire about an after-hours appointment!
