All auditioners should prepare one of the sides below and a brief song of their choosing, such as one verse of TWINKLE, TWINKLE LITTLE STAR.

SELF TAPING INSTRUCTIONS

• Slate NAME, HEIGHT, AGE, and tell us something about yourself.
• Record one of the above “sides” and include a short song such of their choosing.
• Place the camera on a tripod or steady surface. A smartphone camera is fine, but always shoot horizontally. Make sure you are in a well-lit space without a distracting background.
• Please sound check prior to filming. Smaller rooms with furniture, rugs, etc., will reduce echo.
• A few of the sides require a reader; the reader should stand just to the right or left of the camera lens, and the actor should play to the reader, not into the camera lens.
• All recordings should be sent through YouTube or Vimeo links (make sure they are set to “public” or “unlisted”. This link should not require a password, invitation, or email login).

Deadline for submissions: Sunday, September 7 at 11am.
