Frame yourself in camera so you can be seen from head to toe
1. What is your full name?

4. Are you represented by a talent agent? If so, who?

After you answer all questions show us your side profiles (turn to the right and pause, then turn to the left and pause)
If you are auditioning for multiple roles, you do not need to do multiple slates, just do one that covers all of the questions listed for both roles.

SCENE INSTRUCTIONS AND SCRIPT
FRAMING: Frame yourself in camera so you can be seen from the knees up.
EYE LINE: Do not read your lines directly into the camera. Look slightly off camera and slightly down when responding to the different characters.
TAKES: Please provide 3 different and unique takes of the following short scene. Show us a distinctly different reaction in each take.
Please have someone read the opposite characters rights off-camera if possible.
CONTEXT: A man stubbornly decided to build their own backyard pool instead of hiring a professional. He is now stuck knee deep in cement at the bottom of the pool. He called you to come and free him, which you are now doing using a jackhammer.
SCRIPT:
SHOW US 3-5 seconds of you using the jackhammer around GUY.
You can just mime this unless you happen to have a jackhammer on hand and a safe place to use it.
GUY:
"I’m sure you guys see this all the time"
Blue Collar Workers gives the guy a subtle "look" that says "definitely not." Nothing rude, no eye-rolling.
GUY:
" Right?"
