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 and Scene 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:
  • A casual outfit that you would wear to the dentist office. No hats or sunglasses or bold patterns please.
