THE DANGEROUS TAPE
QUEENSLAND ONE DAY MASTERCLASS
A One-Day Intensive with Les Chantery
Rewire how you rewire how you self-tape forever.
In today’s industry, the self-tape isn’t the first step to booking the job. It is the audition. It’s your one and only chance to make a lasting impression before anyone meets you in person.
For one day only in Queensland, Les Chantery, Australia’s most in-demand screen acting coach and author of two #1 Amazon bestsellers, The Dangerous Actor and Life in a Mid-Shot, brings his signature, science-backed, high-performance training to a single, unforgettable day.
You’ll work live with Les on two contrasting scripts, filmed and coached in the room. Across the day, you’ll experience a complete recalibration of how you approach the self-tape: from analysis to activation, from watchable to feelable.
This isn’t about looking good on camera. It’s about becoming un-ignorable.
You’ll discover how to grab attention in the first eight seconds and hold it hostage until the final frame. You’ll learn to use the Four Dangerous Factors to create performances that casting directors feel as much as they watch.
Les will break down the five technical elements that separate professional-grade tapes from forgettable ones and guide you through a powerful script-analysis system that makes your choices so bold and specific they could only come from you.
By the end of the day, you won’t just understand what makes a tape dangerous…you’ll know how to make one!
For Brisbane actors ready to stop auditioning and start booking, this is your shot. SPACES ARE STRICTLY LIMITED
Date: Saturday 6 December 2025 (FULL! Email to be put on waitlist!)
NEW DATE ANNOUNCED DUE TO DEMAND:
Date: Sunday 7 December 2025 (ALMOST FULL!)
Time: 9:00am – 6:00pm
Fee: $695 (including GST)
