If youâve been asked to self-tape, we want to ensure you have all the information you need. If youâre taping as identical twins, you need to look alike! You should also be familiar with how-do-i-self-tape.
Read FAQs prior to starting each audition!
- Tapes should be in landscape mode, with camera/phone resting on a steady surface â never handheld â framing head and shoulders at eye level â we need to see your eyes and face â in a well lit room (light in-front not behind you!). We want to see you clearly.
- Do not SHOUT and do not rush â friendly and confidently (see taping lines below). Listen back to your tape and if muffled or sound not clear, redo tape with mic closer!
- Always start with a short ident and send one headshot/selfie taken at time of taping.
- Read the instructions from the Casting Director thoroughly and check the deadline â try to submit media in good time so agent can preview and ask you to redo if needed.
- Do not include anything not requested and trim tapes to shortest possible timings.
- If relevant, state that youâre available for all dates (highlight non-availability), and whether you have any commercial conflicts.
If youâre asked to tape lines:
- We know sometimes scripts appear huge, but itâs best to memorize any lines and be off-book when auditioning.
- We donât want to hear anyone else reading your lines, but someone else can read other lines off-camera, but close enough so we can hear them.
- Lines could be propped up next to the camera so we still see your eyes and face while speaking them. But after repeating lines a few times, youâre sure to pick them up and be off-book!
