Turn Your Next Self-Tape Into Your Next Series Regular Role
Casting directors have seen a thousand careful tapes.
Careful doesn't get you cast. Being Bold Does.
Steal the 4 actor-friendly frameworks I used to book 8 Series Regular roles.
No agent. No stress. No self-doubt.
I want to book a Series Regular!These frameworks will help you:
- Stop dreading the self-tape request and start seeing it as your moment — because you'll finally have a system that works
- Get a repeatable process that works every time you set up the camera — so self-taping feels like your edge, not your enemy
-
Get you to show up natural, easy, and confidently grounded on camera — without tightening, overthinking, or that try-too-hard energy that kills presence.
-
Get casting directors to actually see the change in you through bold, confident choices — so they feel excited, energised, and lit up by you and your presence for the foreseeable future...
Who it's for:
- Trained actors who are talented in the room but struggling to translate that onto tape.
- Drama school graduates who were taught craft but never taught how to audition on camera.
- Actors who perform brilliantly in class or on stage but struggle when the camera switches on.
- Any actor who is good enough — and knows it — but isn't booking enough to prove it.
- Actors who are putting in the work but still can't turn submissions into actual screen credits.
Who built this system?
I'm Nick Dunning. R.A.D.A. gave me the craft. An I.F.T.A. gave me the credibility.
8 Series Regulars and 90+ TV Credits gave me the proof.
This is the system.
One hour. One system.
Use it on your next tape.
The Lies You Were Told About Landing Series Regular Roles
You shouldn't need months of auditions before you book a series regular role.
You should be landing jobs like the casting director already had your name on the list.
But instead, you've been told to:
- Take more classes (as if another technique is the thing standing between you and the role)
- Build your showreel first (as if casting directors are waiting for perfect footage before they consider you)
- Get more credits (as if you need permission from the industry before the industry will take you seriously)
- Wait your turn (while the actors who understand the game are already on set)
None of that tells you why the tape isn't landing.
None of it addresses what the casting director is actually looking for in the first few seconds.
The actors booking Series Regular work aren't necessarily the most trained in the room.
They're the ones who understood what casting directors need — and give it to them.
That's not luck. That's a system.
And that's what cracks the code.
Nobody cared about my self-tapes and I was doing everything right...
Good preparation. Strong choices. Solid training.
Then I stopped trying to "act" my way through it and started building my tapes with intention to "change the energy on screen".
Because nobody had ever taught me what a self-tape actually needs to do in the first 7 seconds before casting decides to stay or go.
Once I finally got that, I stopped leaving it to chance.
- Things clicked
Eight Series Regular roles.
One system.
That system is now yours.

No stress, No self doubt, No worries.

Let's be real for a second -
I used to dread self tapes - not because I didn't love acting, but because I showed up nervous, stiff and trying to be " perfect.
Every shoot felt forced - I started to hate that my work didn't show them who I really was.
Then one day I stopped trying to please everybody and started getting myself comfortable, talking, laughing, forgetting about the camera, and suddenly the shoot changed - I looked alive. Real.
Now I design every self tape so it makes casting directors feel something from someone who actually looks like me - because it is me. That's the essence behind cracking the casting director code.
I'm giving you the keys - so get inside Cracking The Casting Director Code now so you can get casting directors off their asses, so they grab their mobiles and book you.
