Before you book
The questions I get most
Standard, Pro or All-In?
+
Standard is three songs, filmed and mixed: a strong first reel. Pro adds a fourth song and a video headshot that opens your reel, so they see your range. All-In adds hair and makeup and three photo headshots, so your reel and your headshots match. Pro is my pick.
How long is the session?
+
Standard is 1 hour 30. Pro is 2 hours. All-In is 4 hours, with hair and makeup and your photo headshots.
How long until my reel is ready?
+
Your edited reel and audio land within 10 days of filming, often sooner when you have a deadline. Tell me the date and I will work to it.
What if I'm nervous singing to a camera?
+
Nearly everyone is. We record your vocals first, with no camera in sight, so by the time we film you are performing to your own finished track. You are directed the whole way, and most people have fully relaxed within the first few minutes.
What do I bring?
+
Three or four songs that suit the jobs you're going for. You list them in a few short questions, then send me an mp3 of each backing track before the day. I plan the running order and confirm everything, so it's ready when you arrive.
What should I wear?
+
Wear something you'd perform in that feels like you. Bring a second option. Before the day you answer a few short questions, and I plan the reel around your answers.
How does Shoot Now, Pay Later work?
+
£75 books your date and comes off the total. Then you choose: pay the rest in one go before your shoot, or Shoot Now, Pay Later. That is three payments taken automatically from the card you booked with: the first on your shoot day, the next two a month apart. Interest-free, no credit check, nothing to remember. If a job comes in, you can move your date yourself online. Your first move is free, after that it is £25. You can start sending your reel while you pay for it.
I'm under 18. Can a parent book?
+
Yes. A parent or guardian can book and pay, and is welcome for the whole session. Shoot Now, Pay Later works the same way.
Where do you film?
+
The Brazier Studio, 490 Larkshall Road, Highams Park, London E4 9HH. A private first-floor space, on the Weaver line (Overground) from Walthamstow Central or Liverpool Street. You're welcome to bring a friend, parent or agent.
