I recently had a last minute self tape.
Lauren and the FW team were super helpful at slotting me in on the same day. They made me comfortable and gave handy suggestions. Lauren was great at getting into character for a reader too. I taped at the end of the day so should have technically received my tape the next day but because it was due that evening, the lovely editor stayed slightly longer to edit and send it to me. All in all, great studio and my tape looked amazing! Thank you guys x
