-
Email your self-tape submission via wetransfer.com to mike@heyisawyourcommercial.com Include your name, email and contact number. Your audition will be viewed individually by each Agent.
* I WILL NOT be reviewing self-tapes before you submit so please don’t ask. Treat it like a normal audition!Shoot landscape, waist up and crop out excess head room.
Shoot on a plain backdrop (no trees, beds, doors, paintings, etc.)
Have it memorized (no copy in hand)
Good lighting and picture (no yellow, no blurry picture)
Do not use props (coke bottles, toothpaste tubes etc..)
DO NOT SHOOT OUTDOORS!
SEND ONLY ONE FILE! DO NOT SEND 2 SEPARATE FILES WE HAVE TO EDIT TOGETHER. WE WILL NOT SUBMIT YOUR VIDEO!
DRESS: Nice Casual (Khaki pants or Dress Slacks w/bright colored shirt w/buttons or polo shirt). OR YOUR OWN PERSONAL STYLE.
THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT!
YOU MUST CREATE A SLATE CARD (A BLACK SCREEN OR PAGE) WITH YOUR NAME ON IT AND EMAIL ADDRESS SO WE WILL KNOW EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE! SOME ACTORS USE 2 AND 3 DIFFERENT NAMES AND DON’T SLATE BEFORE THEIR PERFORMANCE AND WE HAVE NO IDEA WHO THEY ARE! NOT FOLLOWING THIS SIMPLE INSTRUCTION MAY CAUSE YOUR PERFORMANCE TO NOT BE SUBMITTED
