  • Lighting: Film your audition in a well-lit area. Your light source should come from behind the camera, not from behind you.
  • Background: Find an uncluttered area to film in where we can see you clearly. Ideally against a neutral backdrop.
  • Audio: Record your audition in a private, quiet space with no other loud or distracting noises. 

WARDROBE INSTRUCTIONS:
​
  • Please dress how you would to go to the park or go on a simple hike.

SLATE / INTRODUCTION VIDEO:

​Frame yourself in camera so you can be seen from head to toe or as close as possible if your space limits your framing. 
Look directly into the camera and answer the below questions.
1. What is your full name? 
2. Where are you located? 
3. Are you represented by a talent agent? If so, who? 
4. How tall are you?
​
After you answer all questions smile with your teeth and then show us your side profiles. 

SCENES:

FRAMING: ​Frame yourself in camera so you can be seen from the waist up and show us the following mini scenes:
  1. You are outside picking up litter that you found in the woods. 
    ​
  2. You are in the woods with your grand kids, walking and guiding them when it starts to rain. You look up into the sky and then cover yourself from the rain joyfully (you enjoy the little things in life, this isn't a frustration). ​

Take your time with these scenes, they can be up to 30 seconds each.
