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)
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.

Record in an uncluttered area where we can see you clearly. Ideally against a neutral backdrop. You can film outdoors if you have good lighting and it is quiet. Avoid loud or noisy areas (i.e. fans, street noise, etc.).
Frame yourself in camera so you can be seen from head to toe
1. What is your full name? 2. How tall are you 3. Where are you located? 4. Are you represented by a talent agent? If so, who? 5. Do you have any visible tattoos (arms, hands, calves, neck, etc.).

After you answer all questions show us your side profiles (turn to the right and pause, then turn to the left and pause)
SCENE INSTRUCTIONS AND SCRIPT
FRAMING: Frame yourself in camera so you can be seen from the waist up.
TAKES: Please provide 2 different and unique takes of each of the following scenes. These are non-speaking scenes.
CONTEXT: You are looking through some old photos that you found in your desk. The photos show an old version of yourself who was clearly struggling with anger issues and depression. You have since received help for your mental health struggles. React to seeing these photos subtly.
SCENE 1:
Enrique is standing and looking through old printed photos (as described above). He pauses with each photo to take them in. The first photo of him angrily blocking his face from the camera. He looks through a few more photos before landing on a picture of his family on the front porch. Everyone looks happy except him. He puts the photos down and look up (towards the camera) into a mirror. He takes a moment to look into his own eyes. SCENE 2:
Enrique is sitting at the dinner table with his family (daughter, wife, and parents). He is showing them some of the photos that he found in his room. They are all happy and even laughing at some of the photos recalling how much Enrique has grown and healed.
VOICE OVER
Please provide 2 different voice over only reads of each of the following script.
VOICE OVER:
"I thought my short temper was just something I was stuck with. But I realized that just accepting it was affecting the people I love most. I wanted to get better for them and myself, but I didn't know how. I started to talk to people and learned that change was possible. Now I know I AM MORE than the anger I always felt.
