Self-Tapes

If you would like to audition, but are unable to attend during the time-frame on September 22, you are welcome to submit a self-tape audition. You may film yourself reading from one of the provided sides, and upload videos within the above Audition Form.

Self-tape submissions must be submitted by 6 pm on September 22.

Some tips for self-taping audition material: 

  • Taping on your cell phone works great!
  • We recommend taping horizontally / landscape
  • Feel free to frame fairly closely — mid torso at the bottom of the frame and the top of your head at the top
  • If, possible try to make sure you're well lit,
  • With a simple or plain background,
  • And as little background noise as possible.
