For performers 18+

Send a tape you’d be proud of.

You’ve already watched it back, over and over, and you still can’t tell what’s good or bad. A friend may have said it looks good, and given you no actual feedback. Or you already sent one, and it didn’t get the result you wanted.

A coach will tell you the specific moment that’s off and how to fix it, how it’ll actually come across, and what’s working that you should leave alone. Then you know exactly what to fix.

Notes back within 48 hours. Every tape includes a second take.

The founder

Founder AJ Rooney
Founder AJ Rooney is a professional performer, writer, and vocal coach.

Quality performing arts training and professional feedback shouldn’t be limited by how much you can afford, where you live, or who you know. I have experienced the industry firsthand, and it can be hard to access affordable coaching, receive meaningful feedback, and know whether you’re truly putting your best foot forward. I built The Rehearsal School to change that. Through self-tape submissions, personalized feedback, and one-to-one coaching in singing, acting, and dance, whether you’re just starting or you’ve been performing for years, the goal is more accessible professional coaching, to help performers recognize their potential, and to give them the tools to feel confident, prepared, and ready to be seen.

Recent professional credits include the Lead Vocalist on the North American Tour of A Taste of Ireland, Anthony in Sweeney Todd, and Hans in Frozen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who reviews my tape?

Your coach at The Rehearsal School. Your tape stays private — only they watch it and write your notes.

When do I get my notes?

Within 48 hours.

What do I get?

The specific moment that’s off and how to fix it, how it’ll actually come across, and what’s working that you should leave alone. Then a second take: send it back within 48 hours, and we’ll tell you whether the fixes landed.

Who is this for?

Singers, actors, and dancers, 18 and over, whether you want to improve or you’re preparing for something specific.

What do I need?

Your phone, a plain wall, good light, and a quiet room. Space if you’re dancing. A track or your sides if you have them.

Can I work with a coach live?

Yes. Private lessons are 30 minutes for $90 or 60 minutes for $150. Group classes are coming soon: 60 minutes, with other performers and one coach.

How long do you keep my video?

30 days after your last notes on that tape, then it’s deleted. Your notes stay in your account. Download the video if you want to keep it.
