“I find the self-taping process to be very useful. Since working with Paul, I think I’ve learned a lot about my behavior in front of the camera; and I believe I’ve become a better actor. With his help and feedback during my taping process, I’ve booked a number of jobs. I look forward to each taping session which often presents new challenges that I actually welcome. His studio setup makes my job so much easier. He’s a pretty good reader, too! Highly recommended.”

Laurie Holden auditions self tape taping NYC Manhattan video auditions

“After having miserable experiences at other self-tape places, I finally found my piece of heaven. Paul is patient, an excellent collaborator, and the quality of my self-tapes is always terrific. I could not recommend him more. He is the BEST!”

Laurie Holden, actor, producer, SAG-AFTRA


“I go to Paul for my most high-stakes self-tapes and callbacks. He takes the stress of filming, reading, and editing, so I can just focus on acting. I've had a major casting director tell me that my self-tapes are in the top 10% of all the tapes he receives, and I know it’s because of Paul's incredible production value and coaching. I can't recommend him enough.”

Anissa Felix, actor, producer, SAG-AFTRA AEA


“I've taped with Paul dozens of times and have booked several jobs from those auditions. His audio and lighting quality is perfect and his reading is great. I couldn’t be happier with my self-tapes. Highly recommended!”

Al Sapienza, actor, SAG-AFTRA


New York City, NYC Video Auditions, Manhattan, self-tapes, video submissions

“My experience at NYC Video Auditions has been great. The look of my tapes, audio-quality and the whole setup is fantastic. Paul’s accommodating, professional, a great reader and he gives great feedback. His editing process is a quick and efficient, too. Since collaborating with him on my self tapes, I can worry less now about the technical side of things and just focus on my work!”

Ryan Coyle, actor, SAG-AFTRA


“You must get your self-tapes done here! Paul’s work is top notch, not only does he create a professional studio environment he knows his stuff about acting; and together you will get the results you need. Bonus: he’s a great guy and fun to work with!”

Catherine A. Callahan, actor, SAG-AFTRA


"The insight and sensitivity that Paul brings to your session will position you in the best light for your success. We’ve now recorded many auditions together and after each one I leave feeling very proud of my work. I’ve booked almost EVERY audition recorded with him - major film roles and recurring TV characters. In the process, under Paul's keen eye, direction and understanding of the medium, I always feel like I've just had an acting class. So, for the price of one session, I get a class and get to send an audition to a casting director that has the highest standards of professionalism. With this kind of track record, why would I go elsewhere?"

   Jay Potter, actor, SAG-AFTRA/AEA


“Paul has the best self-tape setup in the city! Clear sound, a beautiful look from his camera, and such a wonderful energy to work with for auditions, I recommend him highly!”

Brinda Dixit, actor, SAG-AFTRA


“Paul does a really incredible job. Wonderfully professional, great setup, quick editing. I now use him almost exclusively for all the important auditions. Well worth the money! Book him - you'll be glad you did.”

Jimmy Nicholas, actor, SAG-AFTRA


Stephen Rider.nyc video auditions.self tape.jpg

"I was referred to Paul by my dear friend Latarsha Rose, who works with him whenever she’s in NYC. I’m so grateful for that, because ever since Paul and I had our first session, my self tapes have been dope! He’s professional, consistently reliable and most importantly, he creates an intimate environment for your creativity to be unearthed and unleashed.”

Stephen Rider, actor, SAG-AFTRA


"Paul is amazing! I reached out to him last minute and he got back to me right away. I'm based in LA, so it's great to know that anytime I make it to NYC, I can count on him to put me on tape. He was very professional and made me feel super at ease. The final product looks awesome!  I'd recommend Paul to any of my actor friends."

   Maya Stojan, actor, SAG-AFTRA


"Paul’s amazing. He's incredibly accommodating, professional, talented and also just a great guy. When I'm in NYC, I know I've got my self-tapes completely covered. The quality of his work is second to none, and he also gives tremendous feedback and works with you to create the best possible audition.  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

   Jesse Luken, actor, SAG-AFTRA/AEA


”There aren’t enough great things to say about NYC Video Auditions. The environment that Paul has created is welcoming and allows for such a creative freedom. He’s patient with the actor and very intuitive with his direction and feedback! My self-tapes always get delivered quickly and with the highest quality. Highly recommended for your taping and editing needs. Paul’s an invaluable resource in NYC.“

Michael Elian, actor, SAG-AFTRA


“Perfect lighting, perfect sound.

Perfect setup.

Expert execution.

Paul’s an absolute pro.”

Michael Rodrick, actor, producer, SAG-AFTRA


“I have done self-tapes in NY and LA and NYC Video Auditions is by far the best at filming the highest quality of self-tapes. I come back to work with Paul for all my auditions.”

Fay Ann Lee, actor, director, writer, SAG-AFTRA


“Paul is great. He made me feel very comfortable. He knows what he’s doing behind the camera. He gave me some terrific direction that transformed my scene!

I highly recommend him.”

Bob McAndrew, actor, writer, SAG-AFTRA
director, acting coach


“Wow. What a great session! 5 stars, definitely. What separates Paul from the others is his sincere desire to help you do your very best. I was so impressed by the quality of the sound & lighting, the acting tips, the encouragement and his ability to be a great reader. I'm definitely coming back.”

Jeff Kim, actor, SAG-AFTRA


“Paul is like a Zen master. When I walked into his studio, I instantly felt comfortable. He is very welcoming. More importantly, he’ll offer suggestions to make your work the best it can be, without taking over your work. We make a game plan if needed; and his suggestions make my self-tapes so good. Plus, you don't have to wait to get your audition tape; he’ll upload your audition for you while you wait. The quality is excellent for the price - and I’d definitely recommend buying a subscription card to save money, rather buying one by one as each audition comes in. Happy auditioning - and good luck.”

Avery Mason, actor, SAG-AFTRA


“Paul is a MASTER. The lighting is always cinematic, he is a fantastic reader/coach, and he edits the auditions with care. He also sends the files right away, so that I'm always able to make the deadline with my reps. I've booked two jobs from his tapes, and gotten an offer on a third project. I feel extremely comfortable there, which is the environment necessary for me to do my best work. There is NO alternative for top-notch audition-taping services in the New York area, or anywhere for that matter.”

Evan Gamble, actor, SAG-AFTRA


Nancy Meyer self-tape testimonial.jpg

”I was thrilled to work with Paul after he had been recommended by my friend Jay Potter who’s been booking constantly from the self tapes he's done with him. I found him professional, prepared, considerate, a delight to work with and just a super nice guy. He did a great job as a reader while he was doing everything else, I felt very comfortable and able to give the performance I wanted to give - and I received a product I was VERY happy with. The lighting, the sound…all of it was as good, if not better than what I’ve taped with casting directors. I’ll definitely work with him again!”

Nancy Meyer, actor, SAG-AFTRA


"I have done many self tape auditions in various different studios and I have often felt rushed…or the readers simply aren’t good.  I was incredibly impressed with Paul. His attention to detail and comfortable environment made me feel confident to do great work. My agents were all impressed with the production quality, and I will definitely be going back again when I’m in New York City.  Highly recommended."

   Emrhys Cooper, actor, SAG-AFTRA/AEA


“My booking ratio has increased five fold after using Paul. I should have gone to him sooner. Worth every penny. Professional, thorough - and high quality recordings.”

Malachy Cleary, actor, SAG-AFTRA


"I booked my first role on a TV show for the role of Blue on Startup and I really don't think that I could've booked it without Paul's help. After we shot the first take, he offered a suggestion to try it again (with a completely different tone). That adjustment is what got me called back and eventually booked for the role. I am SO thankful for finding Paul! It's not just a place to self tape. He really provides valuable coaching when needed. He guided me on the completely right path. I’m now flying to Puerto Rico for a week to film for SONY PICTURES! Thank you, Paul! Can't wait to work together again."

Karim Diané, actor, SAG-AFTRA


“Paul has recorded me for many various projects and several of them I have been fortunate enough to book. He gives me honest advice but always lets me take the lead as to how the whole process is going. He knows how to inspire the best in me and respects my choices. Paul is also an excellent reader, who always makes it interesting and fun. Very reliable, too. I can't recommend him highly enough!”

Ellen B. Williams, actor


“I am VERY pleased with Paul's services. The quality of his work is unparalleled. He’s always been very accommodating to me and my crazy schedule. He's a good reader and creates a very relaxed, chill environment which is crucial to an actor doing their best in these rather unnatural settings (self-tapings). Thank you, Paul!!!”

Daniel O’Shea, actor, SAG-AFTRA


“Paul does an excellent job of helping you get the end product you're looking for. He understands script analysis and has good instincts of how a scene or monologue plays. He delivers the videos promptly and handles his business in a very professional manner; all this with competitive pricing."

Tony D. Head, actor, SAG-AFTRA/AEA


Lauren Watkins-actress self-tape testimonial.jpg

"I've used many different self-tape services in New York City, but what sets Paul apart is how comfortable he makes the environment, and how he offers suggestions that enhance my ideas rather than imposing his will on the readings. Additionally, a beautifully-lit and perfectly-framed shot is a product of his meticulous attention to detail. He is both my and my agent's first choice when it comes to self-tape services."

   Lauren Watkins, actor, AEA


"I'm so impressed; a true collaboration with the right amount of attention paid to technical detail, which helps you stand out in a sea of submissions.  Paul's open, easy, safe and creative and his direction was gentle but pointed. He cares about helping you to give your best and will output the energy necessary to get you there.  A generous soul indeed! My session was wonderful. I look forward to the next one "

Sue Kim, actor, SAG-AFTRA

   George Pappas, actor, SAG-AFTRA/AEA


"I actually liked watching myself on tape after I worked with Paul (and I never liked how I looked before). He also took the time to rehearse with me so I gave the best read (and he's a great scene partner). He made my experience fun and has changed how I see myself and my work on tape."

Joe Bartolotta-actor NYC self tape reviews.jpg

"NYC Video Auditions is not just another self-tape service - it’s like being on set. Paul’s direction, when needed, is gentle but pointed.  He helps get you to where you want to be with your character both technically and objectively.  Since taping with Paul, my eyes are opened to looking at auditions in a completely different light.  I see them now not as a "hurry up and project your ideas into the limited time slot" sort of deal, where all truth and connection goes out the window.  I trust my instincts a little bit more and can't wait for the next chance, be it minutes in a casting office or a self-tape with Paul, to breathe life into a role, to do what I love.  Go to him.  You'll be happy you did."

   Joe Bartolotta, actor,

Reliable, pleasant, talented and reasonably priced. I ended up with an amazingly professional reel that presents me at the level that I'm working toward."

I could not be happier with his extraordinary professionalism and his sublime workmanship."

   MUFFINHEAD, artist, designer, model


"Paul's skills as an actor, a musician, and a director give him a leg up when he is shooting moving images - as well as in his still photography work. He is in tune with the internal rhythm of his subjects and he is able to capture their essence effortlessly."

   Lisa Adams, actor, SAG-AFTRA
