Our Founder
Demi is a working actor, script editor and professional reader/coach with a genuine passion for collaborating with fellow actors. She has been professionally reading and coaching auditions and self-tapes for the past eight years, with experience coaching on productions and with actors who are series regulars on shows including The White Lotus, Euphoria, Not Suitable for Work, I Love LA, Mayans MC and Days of Our Lives, to name just a few.
​
Demi specializes in script analysis, building dynamic characters, making bold, specific choices and strengthening on-camera presence. Her detailed but collaborative approach has become the foundation of Stella’s coaching philosophy, with every Stella coach trained in these principles while bringing their own experience, instincts and perspective to the room. The result is a consistent Stella standard and an outstanding reputation for helping actors deliver their best work and book the job!
​
Demi's extensive industry experience also includes on-set coaching, script editing and script doctoring, as well as working as a content executive for a streaming company. Over the years, Demi has built a loyal roster of working actors, many of whom credit her coaching, insight and patience with helping transform the way they approach auditions and their work.

Our Friends
Our Charity & Community Work
At Stella Self Tape, community and charity are at the heart of our mission! From a young age, my mother instilled in me a strong sense of community and the belief that true belonging comes from giving back, her philosophy being that "you can't expect to be apart of a community you don't give back to."
Stella Self Tape proudly offers free self-tapes as prizes for the 'Best Actor/Actress' winners at various film festivals throughout Los Angeles, helping emerging artists showcase their talent. We are proud sponsors of film festivals and scholarship programs all over the world including the LA Greek Film Festival, New York Cinefest, the LA Webfest, Creature Comedy Club free headshots program for up and coming comics and Australia's iconic Heath Ledger Scholarship where we contribute $5,000 worth of prizes annually. Additionally, we collaborate with the Difference Legacy Foundation, supporting foster and formerly incarcerated youths start their careers in Hollywood and Kids in The Spotlight, an organization that helps foster youth heal and grow from trauma through the power of storytelling and filmmaking.
​
Every second Saturday of the month at our VENICE LOCATION, we host 'Community Saturday,' where we open our studio for the LA creative communities to use for FREE.
