skyler: How to give your next self tape the same shot
Congratulations again to skyler. This is the kind of result we love to share: an actor who prepared well, recorded a clean self tape and got the role. Bookings like this are why we started recording self tapes in 2014, and why we now teach actors to do it themselves.
If you have an audition coming up, use this checklist before you press record:
- Read the casting notice twice and follow every instruction, including the file name.
- Frame from mid-chest up with the lens at eye level and a plain wall behind you.
- Face a window or one soft light, and turn off the ceiling light.
- Record in a quiet room with your reader beside the lens, a little quieter than you.
- Send two or three clean takes at most, and send them early.
Treat each self tape like a job. Break down the sides, light your face softly from the front and record in the quietest room you have.
Watch the take back with headphones before you send it. Fix the sound first if anything feels off.
