Tips for Self Tapes 1. Frame yourself (the talent) from head to toe. Start off with a brief introduction into camera: state your name, age, height, town and province. Tell us a little bit about yourself (max 45 seconds). 2. Now, zoom in so that you re framed from the top of the head to the mid chest area ONLY and keep that frame for the entire scene. There should be little to no space over the top of your head. Be sure that the lighting is bright. Make sure that the sound quality is clear. It is very important that we can clearly see and hear you. 3. For the READER- Stand beside the camera opposite the talent, and make sure the talent is using you, the reader, for their eye line and NOT looking into the camera. Make sure to use a nice clear voice, make it easy for the actor to respond to you. 4. Make sure to memorize the lines and feel free to tape the scene as many times as you'd like, but only send us one take, the BEST take. 5. If you have FACIAL HAIR, please be sure to SHAVE IT off before auditioning; we want you to look as young as possible! 6. Remember to look natural, just like yourself. Please do not dress up or wear heavy make up. Note Rania is pronounced RAY-NEE-YA 3

No, looking at me with those eyes. What eyes? Tyler smiles. The ones that say you want to kiss me. I do want to kiss you. And you need to stop saying things like that. So you want me to lie? Tell you that you're not the first thing I think about in the morning? Or the last thing I think about at night? (flustered) Okay, that's it. You need to go. This is my house. Then I need to go. Because this. You and me. Can't happen. Frankie and I broke up weeks ago.
