Instructions for Self tape

Your submission should include:

  1. A brief (30 second) chat to camera – introduce yourself, experience in theatre/film, training, special interests
  2. Your excerpt selections

Tips for filming:

  • Avoid looking directly at the camera or in complete profile to the camera (unless this is a deliberate actor choice).
  • Whilst the audition is on screen, we still need to see how you would move on stage, so please don’t feel limited to just a close up, you can frame it as a long shot and move within that.
  • Keep the camera steady and avoid zooming in and out. Best to keep the frame still and in a mid-shot (chest and head).
  • Avoid empty space above head.
  • Shoot against a plain wall with enough light so we can clearly see your face. Avoid shadows. Natural light is best. Do not film in front of a window and best to film inside and avoid too much background noise.
  • If you’re filming with an iPhone / Smart Phone ensure that it is landscape, NOT portrait.

Submission form

We are taking all submissions via a Google form – the form will collect some basic information, your headshot/CV or website and also your audition files.

Please have everything ready to go before accessing the form.
