Record Your On-Camera or Voiceover Audition
Thursday, May 21st, 2009Do you need to film your audition and submit it to a casting director online, on DVD or sent through email? Do you need a quick voiceover audition recorded as an MP3 file and emailed to your agency?
Agents, managers, and actors often need someone who can both coach and record clients or themselves and then sent to casting directors who are out of town, in another country, or who simply require all auditions be submitted digitally.
Sometimes, if an actor hasn’t yet built a significant reel of professional work, an agent or manager will ask to see a sample of their work (a scene or monologue).
Julie can coach you, read opposite you while filming, and edit a DVD or MP3 that will be available online within hours. If you need help finding material to record, Julie is available for private consulting and coaching.

Don’t be late
Don’t shake hands with the producers/casting directors
Do not add lines or improvise
Do not bring props
Do not bring in funny stories about your day
Do not hand out flyers
Always have headshots with you
Make sure not to mispronounce any of the character’s names
Leave your bad mood in the waiting room
Don’t ask, “what do you want” or “how do you see it.”
Always have your sides (script) with you and use it
If you ask to start over, make sure it is different
When you show up at a callback or on set, wear what you wore for producers
