Greg Apps
Casting for 38 Years
If you lucky enough to have a successful long term career – doing what you love – then more than likely you will kick a few goals along the way. I have cast more than 80 feature films, countless hours of television and along the way I have launched careers of some deserving actors. I am still casting to this day. I have three films waiting to be released and a further six projects in development. I love my job
I know your Pain
Actors are the best people in the world. Energetic, funny, quirky. I was an actor. I have walked the red carpet, I have performed in musicals, in theatre, on TV and film. I was asked when I started casting, ‘don’t you miss acting?’ Definitely not. As a Casting Director I get to create all of the roles in a film, rather than hope to get an audition for one role. In short, because I was an actor, I know what you go through. I have sat in the waiting room. I have despaired at not getting an audition for a role I desperately wanted. I know your pain 🙁
Robyn Gibbes
To find yourself on set at 17 years old starring opposite Jeff Bridges, would seem like a dream come true. And more so If you were born and bred in the highlands of New Guinea!
“I have to admit, having grown up in the remote highlands, I had no idea of who Jeff Bridges was!” As a teenager growing up in new Guinea, there was no TV, no radio. Her only music was from a battery operated turntable that played Under the Boardwalk by The Drifters again and again.
Robyn went on to play lead roles in all the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s television series as series regulars and ‘guesties’. Her most well known roles are Round the Twist, Prisoner and Carson’s Law.
She has also starred in many Australian films including amongst others ‘Gross Misconduct’ with Naomi Watts, ‘Emerging’, ‘Gone to Ground’ and Wild Horses in New Zealand.
Robyn has also written, produced and acted for the Melbourne Comedy Festival, La Mama (Melbourne) and the National Theater Victoria, before giving away her acting career to manage the successful casting consultancy Prototype Casting at Fox Studios.
In 2006 she followed her heart working with underprivileged women in Bolivia designing textiles for the international market.
Having sold her business in 2016 she has joined Greg in The Audition Technique empowering actors to fulfil their career goals.
It is a long way from Goroka in the remote highlands of Papua New Guinea.

We help people like you find the path to launch their acting career
This isn’t even bullsh!t when I say this but anything that happens to me from now in terms of getting auditions and progressing in this industry will purely be because of Gregs teaching, advice, opinion, fair judgment, honesty and passion for the actors he guides in his course. I was stuck in the mud and had no clue what to do, where to go in my career before coming across Gregs Self Taping School. You feel like a completely new and improved actor after going through training with Greg. You don’t want the course to end! That’s how good he is and how invested he is in providing the right knowledge and techniques to help you grow as an actor. Thank you Mr Apps, you are truly appreciated on my behalf.

Wow, wow, wow! That was the best acting course I ever did (and I worked with Susan Batson and other famous people of the industry). Greg has the most amazing energy to support actors and in its program you find exactly what an actor needs. There is no waste of time about techniques, it is about creating characters. What I really gained is: to take ownership of the character and also for me in my actors life. And I learned to push myself further on without anybody working with me, but myself. Thank you, Greg!

I feel so privileged to have had this golden opportunity to be mentored for 6 weeks by Greg Apps. I had heaps of fun and have come out of his self-taping course feeling empowered, armed with a ton more knowledge, a greater, grander vision for myself and friendship within the STS community! What a bonus! Greg’s personal advice, suggestions, wisdom is priceless. His self-taping course is so well-structured, organized and just so well-done. Thank you Greg, you are a gem. My dreams are bigger and my determination stronger. You are doing such a great thing here. Always grateful.
