Calm On Camera

The full guide to self-taping with clarity, ease, and consistency

The free introduction to Calm on Camera focuses on helping actors feel more settled and supported when self-taping.

The full guide is for actors who want to go deeper — and make that calm, connected approach repeatable over time.

This guide expands on the same actor-centred philosophy, offering practical tools and frameworks that help you navigate self-tapes with confidence, without overthinking or self-criticism. Rather than adding pressure or rigid rules, it provides structure where structure is useful — so you can focus on the work itself.

The full guide is designed for actors who:

• self-tape regularly
• want a clearer process from preparation through to submission
• find themselves spiralling after takes or second-guessing choices
• value sustainability, presence, and consistency over perfection

Inside the full guide, you’ll find:

• deeper guidance on creating a supportive, repeatable setup
• tools for approaching first takes and alternative versions without forcing variation
• decision-making frameworks to help you know when you have what you need
• clear, actor-friendly guidance on editing, exporting, and submission
• an optional appendix on building a dedicated self-tape setup that reduces friction and decision fatigue

Written by the founder of To The Moon Actors, an actor-led studio based in Melbourne, Calm on Camera — The Full Guide is not about performing better for the camera. It’s about creating the conditions that allow you to do your best work — calmly, honestly, and consistently.
