Self tapes for film, TV and commercial roles began for auditioning actors before the pandemic. Lockdowns during the pandemic sped up the adoption process. Now auditioning digitally is much more common than auditioning in a casting office.
There’s so much written online about how to self tape. Film and TV casting consultant Greg Apps runs a great, no bs self tape course which I personally highly recommend.
Now since a picture tells a thousand words, I’ve put together a 3 minute reel of self tape clips for you to check out what works first-hand. These clips are from self tapes I’ve made that have all won, or received special mentions, in US and Australian competitions. Check it out below. Get good karma by giving it a thumbs up…
Technically, I use a phone (sometimes held in an outstretched hand like in the heart attack scene, other times clipped to the top of a microphone stand), the phone microphone, natural light and imagination. I use DaVinci Resolve to edit.
Weekly US self tape challenges are run by No Good Theater.
Check out my actor website gregpoppleton.com where you’ll see full versions of the clips from the 3 minute compilation in the Self Tape section. And soundtrack your day with aircheck Phantom Dancer radio mixes of live 1920s-60s radio swing and jazz.
Meanwhile, happy self taping.
New selftape. Script: “How Would You Know?”. The author’s name was not on the script.

Harry Reser, virtuoso 1920s-30s banjo star and band leader, the first to record ‘Santa Claus is Coming to Town‘, is your feature artist on this week’s Greg Poppleton Phantom Dancer.
The Phantom Dancer, your non-stop 2 hour mix of swing and jazz from live 1920s-60s radio, is produced and presented by 1920s-30s singer and actor Greg Poppleton can be heard online from 12:04pm AEST Tuesday 28 April at https://2ser.com/phantom-dancer/
The last hour is all vinyl.
Harry Reser’s recorded output is staggering and among the ensembles he was associated with included The Bostonians, the Campus Boys, Jimmy Johnston’s Rebels, the Four Minstrels, the Seven Rag Pickers, the Victorian Syncopators, Earl Oliver’s Jazz Babies, Bill Wirges’ Orchestra, Tom Stacks and his Minute Men and the celebrated Cliquot Club Eskimos, which were heard weekly on NBC Red, then Blue, then CBS radio network from 1925 until 1935.
Reser was one of the busiest and most prolific bandleaders and session men of the 1920s. His massive output of unfailingly cheerful and uplifting tunes, with vocals by Tom Stacks (who first sung the aforementioned Santa song) was released under more than 175 pseudonyms, including The Volunteer Firemen (who you’ll hear on this show), the Tickle Toe Ten, Jack’s Fast Steppin’ Bellhops, Si Higgins & His Sodbusters, and — most famously — the ginger ale-affiliated Clicquot Club Eskimos.
Reser was a first cousin to Orville & Wilbur Wright, the Wright brothers, who first flew an airplane in 1903. His musical talents became apparent in toddlerhood, and when his parents realized they had a child prodigy, they had a special guitar made for him suited to his extremely small size. This was his first instrument.
Reser recalled, “Of course, being a kid, and playing for various minor concerts and recitals naturally gave me somewhat of a hero feeling, but I was never able to get the attitude of a great many people whom I often heard talking prodigies, juvenile wonders and any number of other equally mysterious things in connection with my playing. It never seemed in the least remarkable or extraordinary that I played at the age of eight.”
From ages 9 to 14 he studied music theory, piano, violin and cello.
By the 1910s the banjo was making its presence felt more strongly with dance bands and Reser felt he should learn how to play it as quickly as possible. He practiced until he was able to play to a high enough standard to supplement his piano playing, thus increasing his chances of earning a reasonable living. In the summer of 1920 he played in a Dayton dance band under the leadership of Paul Goss. By this time he was playing the banjo regularly. He soon moved to Buffalo, New York to appear at the Hippodrome, playing primarily violin, though continuing to work on his banjo technique as well.
After Christmas of 1920 he moved to New York City. He sought out engagements and soon found himself in demand. Some of the early bands he was involved with included those of leading dance band leaders Ben Selvin, Benny Krueger, Sam Lanin, Nathan Glantz, and Mike Markel (for whom he played saxophone).
By 1922, he had recorded a half dozen pieces, including “Crazy Jo” and Zez Confrey’s “Kitten on the Keys”. In early autumn of the same year, he considered starting his own band. Soon a contract was drawn up with Okeh Records and his first band, the Okeh Syncopators, came into being during September or October 1922. Shortly after the start of this new endeavor he was approached by Paul Whiteman to sit in for Whiteman’s regular banjoist, Mike Pingitore, during a UK tour of the Paul Whiteman Orchestra.
Reser had three original compositions written for tenor banjo; The Cat and the Dog, Cracker Jack, and Lolly Pops.
In 1925, he found fame as the director for NBC’s Clicquot Club Eskimo Orchestra, continuing with that weekly half-hour until 1935. At the same time, he also led other bands using pseudonyms. “Harry Reser and His Six Jumping Jacks”, with vocals by Tom Stacks.
Throughout his career he was an endorsed artist, playing instruments from several well-known makers. During the 1920s he mainly played a variety of William L. Lange’s Paramount tenor and plectrum banjos, and Lange presented him with a Super Paramount Artists Supreme, as he also did to Mike Pingitore, another Paramount musician. Later Reser would play Gibson and Vegavox banjos.
Harry Reser played “Tiger Rag” and “You Hit the Spot” in the Vitaphone musical short Harry Reser and His Eskimos (1936) which is one of three Phantom Dancer Videos of the Week, below..
Reser remained active in music for the rest of his life, leading TV studio orchestras and playing with Broadway theatre orchestras. In 1960 he appeared with Bing Crosby, Peggy Lee, and Buster Keaton in “A 70th Birthday Salute to Paul Whiteman” on TV’s The Revlon Revue. He wrote several instructional books for the banjo, guitar, and ukulele.
In 1965 Reser died of a heart attack in the orchestra pit of Manhattan’s Imperial Theatre while warming up for a Broadway stage version of Fiddler on the Roof.
Your first Phantom Dancer Video of the Week is a Vitaphone short from 1929.
Harry Reser, Vitaphone, 1936, leading his Cliquot Eskimos with early electic organ and Reser playing amped slide guitar but no banjo!
Here’s a more complete version of the Vitaphone short, with the titles obliterated by the person who put the film up on YouTube, probably thinking that would solve any copyright issues.
Thirdly, be amazed by the drumming tricks of Freddie Crump on his 1920s drum kit which is so different from a modern jazz kit. Enjoy!

Hi Everyone,
I have a new Drama Showreel for film and TV.
And a new film and TV actor website gregpoppleton.com
As technology has made the making of film more accessable, so the traditional actor showreel has quickly changed.
Gone are the days when a reel had to be professionally shot clips from your film and TV credits.
Now casting directors want to see characters. ‘You can film them in your backyard’, one CD said.
So here are three of my characters from self tapes I’ve recorded over the past two months. There’s a forensic psychiatrist talking to a child, a deskbound detective, then a small time crim. Scripts by Chad Schnackel & David Dalton. Enjoy!

This week’s Phantom Dancer feature artist with Greg Poppleton, is, following last week’s Kid Ory feature, also a tromobonist. He is credited with being the most important pre-bop trombonist in jazz, who took trombone away from Kid Ory’s tailgate style. It’s Jack Teagarden.
This week’s Phantom Dancer will be online after the 29 October 107.3 2SER Sydney live mix at 2ser.com.
Hear the show live every Tuesday 12:04-2pm on 107.3 2SER Sydney.
Jack Teagarden was the preeminent American jazz trombone player before the bebop era of the 1940s as well as being an engaging singer.
His early career was as a sideman in the orchestras of Tommy Dorsey, Paul Whiteman and lifelong friend Louis Armstrong before branching out as a bandleader in 1939. We hear his new orchestra debuting on radio in 1939 on this week’s Phantom Dancer. After WWII he specialised in New Orleans jazz until his death.
Jack’s is brother Charlie and sister Norma also became professional musicians. His father was an amateur brass band trumpeter and started him on baritone horn. At age seven he had switched to trombone. His first public performances were in movie theaters, accompanying his piano playing mother.
His trombone style was largely self-taught. He developed many unusual alternative positions and novel special effects on the instrument. He is usually considered the most innovative jazz trombone stylist of the pre-bebop era. He did much to expand the role of the instrument beyond the Kid Ory tailgate style of the early New Orleans brass bands.
This week’s Phantom Dancer features broadcast excerpts of Jack Teagarden between 1936-41. He had begun playing professionally as a teenager, playing with many different bands in a process that took him from his native Texas to New York City.
Teagarden sought financial security during the Great Depression and signed a contract to play for the Paul Whiteman Orchestra from 1933 through 1938. Jack did play and broadcast on radio in small jazz groups in the mid 30s with his brother Charlie and Frankie Trambauer as ‘The Three T’s.’ I have played some of these radio broadcasts from the Hickory House over CBS but the sound quality is very poor.
Teagarden started leading his own big band in 1939. We’ll hear it’s debut on ‘The Fitch Summer Bandwagon’. The band was not a commercial success, and he was brought to the brink of bankruptcy.
This week’s Phantom Dancer video of the week is film of Jack Teagarden from a 1950s Telescription playing with ‘Basin Street Blues’.

This week’s Phantom Dancer radio show with Greg Poppleton features a set of women jazz singers from 1950s radio and TV including Billie Holliday, Sarah Vaughan, Betty Roche and Ella Fitzgerald. And the featured artist is the Glenn Miller Orchestra in German.
In just four years Glenn Miller scored 16 number-one records and 69 top ten hits—more than Elvis Presley (38 top 10s) and the Beatles (33 top 10s)
Miller received the first gold record for 1.2 million sales of Chattanoga Choo Choo in 1942.
The Phantom Dancer is your two hour non-stop mix of swing and jazz from live 1920s-60s radio and TV presented by Greg Poppleton on Radio 2SER 107.3 Sydney since 1985.
This week’s show can be heard over and over again online at radio 2ser.com
The last hour is all vinyl.
This description of the Glenn Miller German broadcasts is from “An Overview, from Glenn Miller Declassified” by Dennis M. Spragg © 2017, Potomac Books, University of Nebraska Press:
“A new venture in psychological warfare was the appearance of leading American entertainers and bands on Music for the Wehrmacht (Musik für die Wehrmacht), (over ABSIE, the American Broadcasting Station in Europe, based in London) for which William Klein wrote German-American continuity.
During September 1944 Bing Crosby and Dinah Shore recorded programs and standby (reserve) recordings during their tours of England and the Continent. The American Band of the Allied Expeditionary Forces (ABAEF) pianist Pvt. Jack Rusin accompanied Crosby, who was nicknamed “Der Bingle” by German troops listening to Music for the Wehrmacht. Irene Manning and Morton Downey followed them. Others appearing in the series during the latter third of 1944 were Marlene Dietrich, M1C Sam Donahue and the U. S. Navy Dance Band of the Allied Liberation Forces and even Spike Jones and his City Slickers.
Musical projection of America was furthered notably by the appearance on Music for the Wehrmacht of musical programs with Maj. Glenn Miller and the ABAEF in a series of weekly broadcasts with German continuity. This series instantly became a highlight of the ABSIE schedule and received significantly favorable comment. Interesting evidence of the global audience for Music For The Wehrmacht was received when a listener from New Zealand reported in detail about one of the Glenn Miller broadcasts.
A female announcer identified as Ilse Weinberger hosted many of the Music for the Wehrmacht programs. In OWI photographs, Gloria Wagner is the announcer seen with Glenn Miller and others recording programs in this series. In addition to full-time announcer Wagner (who hosted other
programs) the ABSIE German Desk had two other staff members handle female announcing duties using the “Ilse” pseudonym. Among ABSIE’s well-known German voices was Gottfried “Golo” Mann, son of Thomas Mann and the reporter mentioned in these scripts. All of the ABSIE staff were American citizens and included SHAEF military and OWI civilian personnel. Wagner, Mann, ABSIE contributor Marlene Dietrich and other ABSIE on-air personnel were subject to enemy death threats.
Six complete episodes of Music for the Wehrmacht were recorded and broadcast by the ABAEF. Program 7 was scheduled for broadcast December 20, 1944 but only the start of the episode was recorded. Any additionally planned programs or repeats were cancelled following the announcement of Miller’s disappearance December 24, 1944.
Your Phantom Dancer Video of the Week this week is Episode 3 of the 1940s Republic Serial, Radar Men From the Moon:
Enjoy!
