Hi friends. Me again. I wanted to chat with you about another popular topic. After receiving such a positive response to my last article about postcards, I figured I’d try to demystify the almighty self-tape. Let’s get right to it!
By now I’m sure you’re seeing a common theme with everything I talk about: technology! Everything we are doing in this business is changing with technology. Like it or not, for better or worse, and most certainly for the faster, it’s changing. Self-tapes are awesome! Let me say that again clearly enough for you to really hear it…Self-tapes are awesome! It’s a quick and easy way to get yourself in front of a casting director. There are many reasons we ask for a self-taped audition versus having you come in the room, and there are pros and cons just like anything else. You also won’t be surprised to hear that there are also rules of the self-tape road that you should follow.
Why might we ask you to self-tape? Let me answer this using an example of an actor’s response to my self-tape request for a Google+ Hangouts commercial. I had this great idea that since the commercial was going to be an actual Hangout that we should hold the auditions on
