Self-tape readers ยท New York City

Your audition, finally in the best hands.

Jalen and Journee are NYC-based actresses who met at BADA's Midsummer in Oxford program. They noticed a gap in the self-tape world and opened their services to actors who need a real reader โ€” not just a voice off-screen.

About

Built by actresses,
for actors.

Having both navigated the audition circuit themselves, Jalen and Journee understand what actors actually need from a reader โ€” presence, timing, and the instinct to match your energy without stealing focus. Every session is collaborative, unhurried, and built around your tape.

Whether you're prepping a first self-tape or shaping a callback, they meet you where you are.

  • Reader sessions for film, TV, and theatre
  • Chemistry & callback prep
  • Scene partner feedback
  • Remote and in-person sessions available
