I had the best time taping with Artéfakt! Magalie is an amazing reader, actor, and professional business woman. I was visiting Vancouver and needed to tape my Disney audition and after googling self tapes in the area Artéfakt stood out as the most professional and effective. Thank You Magalie! And I hope to tape with you again in the future!

Great camera quality, sound and editing. Cool different backdrop options (my favorite is the gray & blue one). Magalie is kind, very professional, easy and fun to work with. Her acting tips helped me so much! My self tapes wouldn’t have been the same without her. Made me grow as an actress. I can see this is truly her passion. I would suggest Artéfakt to anyone. Overall excellent!

A Little More About Artéfakt…

 

Meet The Founder ;

M a g a l i e

Magalie has always had a keen eye for the performing arts. Hailing from Québec city Magalie is an actress, acting coach, director, writer & producer.

At the age of 19, she takes the bull by the horns and moves to Toronto to study theatre at the George Brown Theatre School setting high goals of making a breakthrough in the English-speaking industry.

Having to constantly submit self-tape auditions for multiple projects, Magalie developed an expertise in this domain that brought her to create her own professional self-tape set up and inviting her fellow actor friends to profit from her experience and help them refine their auditions.

Magalie has practical experience in assisting actors with character development as she directed 4 stage productions in recent years. Under her guidance, many actors are getting the call backs and obtain the roles they are hoping for!

So it is with great enthusiasm that Magalie ventures into this complementary facet of her career by helping her fellow actors grow and reach their full potential. Hard work and discipline is what Magalie believes are the most important elements actors must embody to be successful!

In choosing her company’s name she kept in mind that Art stands for Creativity and Imagination, while Fakt grounds one in Reality. Therefore, we present to you ARTÉFAKT; a place where actors can evolve, gain confidence and put themselves out there in their brightest light.
