VIDEO SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:
Please limit your video submission to 2 minutes maximum. Actors may prepare either a short comic monologue or a monologue from one of the plays. This time limit includes your slate (your name, name of play, and character you will be performing). Please upload your video audition to Vimeo and include a link for viewing in your email submission. Youtube links are also acceptable, but Vimeo is strongly preferred. Please DO NOT share via WeTransfer, Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud or other file sharing platforms.
SELF TAPE SUGGESTIONS FOR YOUR AUDITION
* Framing your shot helps. Please make sure your phone/device is in landscape format and not portrait position.
* Make sure the lighting is sufficient. Non-incandescent, bright white lighting that includes some diffusion (non direct, soft) is best.
* The sound is important. Please make sure if using a reader that YOU are easily heard. An external mic (Lavalier) plugs into your device, is economical and sounds great.
* Your background is clean. Please be aware of what's behind you. A busy or dark background can distract the viewer/listener.
* Keep the slate separate from the actual audition. Slates can be your headshot or your live introduction, whichever you prefer.
Please feel free to listen to our podcast (2 episodes, 20 minutes each) on video auditions. The link is here
