    This is your chance to have them see your work and potentially sign you as a client!

    (* showcase lineup subject to change. Inquire within.)

    • 1st you will perform a ‘tell me a little bit about yourself’ interview (no more than 1 minute).

    • 2nd perform a pre-prepared commercial copy read of your choice (30 second-ish read time copy length)

  • 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

  • I have created a $30 Self-Tape Showcase online tutorial that walks you through the complete process. Email me at mike@heyisawyourcommercial.com for information.

  • $75 (Flat cost, no VIP rate. Normal cost is $90)
    Showcases are non-refundable, transferable, negotiable.
