Actors Resources

Callback Studios started because I really believed that we could offer a high quality service to my fellow actors and filmmakers, and do it in a way that takes out the mystery and frustration behind the process. I’ve been at it a few years now, both behind and in front of the camera, and know that it can be confusing and daunting to navigate the business.

So, I’ve tried and put together a list of resources I thought you might find helpful, and have written a few blogs over the years that (hopefully) answer some common questions.

Hope this helps you. If you have any questions I would be more than happy to answer at our shoot, or if you DM me Instagram or Facebook.

I have done a few self-tapes here and can say that I was incredibly happy with the results. The quality of tape was amazing and Dan & Myrthin made it a comfortable environment to get the best out of my performance. Both of them are working actors so you know you can trust them to get a quality tape. Highly recommend.

Really awesome place to get self tapes done! Myrthin Stagg was fantastic – professional, encouraging and has a really great feel for working through a scene. I felt both energized and relaxed – and I really trusted her take on the work. Really easy to book with them as well, and a great set up!

Excellent service in a comfortable relaxed environment. Great tea. Didn’t take long to get excellent shots, looking better than I imagined possible! Dan even stepped into the icy wind to get exactly the right shot with natural light. Experience and result 10/10, would recommend to a friend.

Dan at Callback was fantastic. He created an environment that made me feel at ease and instilled confidence in me the entire time. He was able to set direction well and I feel that the final product captured what we wanted to show. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to get their headshots done.

Dan was great – From the moment I walked in, it felt natural and I felt at ease, his space was comfortable and he was extremely accommodating and overall had a great energy. I’d highly recommend going to him for your headshots!

My favourite headshot studio. Really incredible prices and always a very fun and relaxed photoshoot. Each time I've gone we got lots of great looks and plenty of options for my agent. Ive referred a few people their way and everyone has been very very happy. The photographer works with Second City, Air Farce, and a bunch of other places taking pictures as well as working as a filmmaker. You’re in good hands.
- Liam Angeloo
