Hi!!! Thank you so much for auditioning with us! We really appreciate all that you do in taking the time to self tape for our project. Please use this guide as a friendly helpful example of things to AVOID with your photos and Videos. It just makes your audition a bit better...so you can book the job!!!
Unless you are only sending a close up photo and video where we'll never see your full body - please don't use these. Simple Plain Background is best. Even if you have items around you - it's better than these.
We understand that you are taking your own photo, but crop out the empty space if you are able to make a less distracting photo.
You end up with a lot of empty space on the sizes and especially for close ups, profiles and full length photos - it's much better that they are Veritcal
For Selfies - it's fine, but for an Audition Photo - it's not OK. Clients will never be OK with this.
OMG we love animals, but the photographers and directors don't want to see them in your casting photo unless asked for.
Unless it's a group photo or asked for, please don't have multiple people in the casting photo. Mostly this happens with Couples and Kids trying to get a sibling noticed, but it's the wrong type of "get noticed"
If you are doing the audition photos, please don't send us photos from you IG feed. Please take the photos we requested.
We already have it, and we only want to see your current picture (not another headshot)
Can't tell you how many photos we get that look like you just put Vaseline on your hands and then touched your phone camera. Please be sure it's clean and not super blurry!
Please dont send photos/videos edited with Facetune. You are beautiful JUST as you are.
