Testimonials

With someone like Krzys running the show, Reel Strength is without fail my go-to studio for self tapes. He makes you look great, his presence is a comfort and never a stressor, and he always gives great notes - but only when asked.

“What an amazing experience. I was seen for a last minute audition and arrived at the studio and was so impressed by the quality and work and attention to detail. He's an excellent reader, He had anti-shine papers on hand, a prop basket, is able to do beauty lighting, and playback on a very large hi-res screen. Equally as impressive was the precision of his work. This man runs a tight ship. The best I've worked with in a very long time. It's a pleasure to work with someone who has built an effective, thoughtful business.”

“I just wanted to reach out and tell you how much I enjoyed taping with you. The tape came out great, and it was awesome bouncing off ideas and working together. You saw some different things that I believe really helped with the audition. I ultimately booked it and am heading to Virginia to start filming for a few months. Thank you again!”

“…when I come in, I feel comfortable and at ease, and I’m able to take my time to get the taping I want. I love being free to make my own choices so the audition really feels like my own. The camera quality is incredible—it picks up the smallest nuances in your face, and you don’t realize how big a difference it makes until you watch it back. I’ve had great success with my tapings there and will definitely be coming back again and again.”

Krzysztof does such an amazing job. I've been using his expert services for 7 years now. Every iteration of my Demo reel comes out better than the previous one. His work is efficient, thorough and affordable. There is constant communication and i couldn't be happier with the results. It goes without saying that i will keep using his services for years to come.

For many, many years, Reel Strength was not only the place I chose to tape in Vancouver, because of its unparalleled services, but because its owner/operator, Krzysztof, is an undeniably gifted artist himself. His professionalism, insights, and artistic stewardship has been a vital part of my own journey as an actor — I credit his services, friendship, and high caliber setup as a MASSIVE part of my momentum over the years. Together we taped for countless projects, while he made space for some of my biggest bookings, enthusiastic to dig into the work, and see his clients soar.
Sadly, since he left Vancouver, I’ve yet to find anyone that offers what he does. Anyone in NYC would be lucky to step into his dojo and let it rip. 10/10 can’t recommend enough. Get in there and do your thing — what Krzysztof is doing is really like nothing else out there.

“I can’t recommend Krzysztof enough. His warm, helpful and welcoming nature results in a stress free taping experience and I always feel like I have room to play, can try different ideas and tape as many times as I need. He goes beyond what is expected and I think it’s safe to say I have found my regular taping studio!”

“…I hit up my boy Krzysztof, such a great reader, his redirects always inspire my creativity and leave me with bookable tapes, did a live callback with him for a 6 episode action series “king of killers” and the show got postponed indefinitely it seems but I felt so safe and taken care of in his room that I brought my best self to the table and that director and producer are now my biggest fans fighting to find other projects for me.”

“While filming a TV show I needed to get a quick self-tape audition done. Krzysztof at Reel Strength was professional, kind and easy to work with. The backdrop was great. Excellent camera quality, sound and editing. It took the stress off of me and I feel really good about sending this tape to LA casting. Give them a try!”

“I needed to put something on tape last minute and reached out to Krzysztof at Reel Strength Studio. He immediately accommodated me, was available as a reader, handled the upload, slate, and rep info, and was incredibly courteous and gracious throughout the process. You will be very well taken care of.”

Christopher Shyer - Actor, New York

Krzysztof is so great at what he does because he is an artist himself. He understands the audition standards of the industry and delivers. I could tell right away that he has a strong sense of how to guide actors in the room with redirection, and curates a space a curiosity and collaboration in the actors process; which I really appreciated. AND his clients book! :)

“Krzysztof at Reel Strength is unmatched when it comes to getting a quality performance out of the actor - both on the technical side, as well as the performance side. He loves the craft which just makes the whole self tape process that much more enjoyable. I will be doing EVERY tape going forward with him.”

Yosef Kasnetzkov - Actor, New York City
✰ IMDb Profile

I had just moved into the city and wanted to take my tapes to the next level as most casting is now done through self tapes. I wanted to focus on the acting and eliminate the technical aspect of filming. His camera, lights and sound is the best I’ve ever had after working with a lot of coaches/studios. He is also a very detailed and connected acting coach if you need one. So I’m not surprised when I booked two acting jobs soon after I began working with him. Definitely got my ROI from all the taping sessions!

Krzysztof is also a very supportive person. Our sessions have always been very creatively rewarding and efficient!

“…I had a demo scene filmed with Reel Strength and I can’t say enough good things about this company. They’re talented, professional, kind and even more importantly they actually care about their clients. The scene I got back from them looks movie quality and I couldn’t be happier.”

Bridget Graham - Actor, Vancouver

“…My first demo scene experience was made easy by how helpful he was throughout the entire process. He collaborated with me on branding, scene selection, and choosing the other actors, and was professional and easy to work with during filming. The quality of the final product was amazing. The quality is second to none.”

“Krzysztof has a lot of heart and talent. I’ve collaborated with him on several projects in both Toronto and Vancouver, and the experience has consistently been positive—resulting in projects that toured the festival circuit and garnered accolades for the cast and crew. As an independent filmmaker, I regard his professionalism, dedication, and high standards as among the best in such a competitive field.”
Mark Datuin - Filmmaker, Toronto

Working with Reel Strength on two creative projects has been an excellent experience. The work was professional and collaborative at every stage—from planning through filming and editing. This is a team worth trusting with your projects.

Our first project, a very personal short film, was successful on the festival circuit and truly captured the themes I wanted to explore. Our second project, promotional materials for my play Carriage, included a beautifully done promo trailer that conveyed the mood of the piece. I’m very happy to recommend their work to other artists.

Met up with me to discuss and find the right characters for my branding, and also helped source actors and locations for filming. My scenes and demo reel look really professional. Highly recommend!”
