CASHIER-LESS SHOPPING ALL ROLES​AUDITION INSTRUCTIONS

Self Tape Submissions are due by 8pm on Thursday September 21st

TECHNICAL SELF-TAPE INSTRUCTIONS

RECORDING DEVICE / FRAMING:
  • You can record your self-taped audition on a cell phone camera, you do not need a fancy camera. 
  • Your phone or camera should record in the landscape / horizontal position (Sideways) 
  • Please do NOT leave excessive empty space between your head and the top of the frame or feet and the bottom. 
  • For the Slate please frame yourself up so we can see you from the waist up. (noted again below)

LIGHTING / AUDIO:
  • Record your audition in a well-lit area. Soft and/or natural light is preferred.
  • Your light source should come from behind the camera, not from behind you, otherwise we will only see your silhouette. 

LOCATION:
  • Record in an uncluttered area where we can see you clearly. Ideally against a neutral backdrop.
  • Avoid loud or noisy areas (i.e. fans, street noise, etc.). ​

WARDROBE:
  • Casual clothing that you would wear to the grocery store. No bold logos, small patterns, stripes, sunglasses or hats.

SLATE / INTRODUCTION VIDEO

​Frame yourself in camera so you can be seen from the waist up. Look directly into the camera and answer the below
1. What is your full name? 
2. ​What role are you auditioning for? 
3.​ How tall are you? 
4. Where are you located? 
5. Are you represented by a talent agent? If so, who? 
6. Are you fully available on 9/27? If you have any conflicts, please tell us. 
7. Do you have any visible tattoos (arms, hands, calves, neck, etc.). If so, please show them to us.  

After you answer all questions smile with your teeth and then show us your side profiles (turn to the right and pause, then turn to the left and pause) 

PHOTO SUBMISSION

Please prepare the below photos and upload them using the form linked at the bottom of this page. They do not need to be taken specifically for this project, as long as they represent your current look (haircut, hair color, facial hair, etc.) 

NO PHOTOS WITH HATS, SUNGLASSES OR FILTERS​
​
1-2 Headshots: This does not have to be a professional headshot. Any recent, nice quality photo that reflects your current look will work. If you have professional headshots, feel free to include them. No hats, sunglasses, or filters.

2. Smiling Picture: Please take a picture TODAY (day you record your audition) of you smiling and looking at the camera from the chest up 

3. Full Body Photos: 1-2 full body recent photos showing your current body type. 

SUBMITTING YOUR AUDITION FILES

AUDITION FILES ARE DUE BY 8PM PST ON THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 21ST

You can submit your audition files to us one of 2 ways:

1. CASTING NETWORKS: Upload your audition (slate, audition, voice over, photos) to the Casting Networks self-tape request.
This only applies to talent who received their audition invite via Casting Networks. Please prioritize this option if you have it.  
Do NOT submit to both Casting Networks and Dropbox as this creates double work for us. 

2. DROPBOX: Upload your files to the below Dropbox
