Acting : Self Taping at home by Madeline Romine

Self Taping at home

More and more I am seeing auditions that require you to do a video audition from home. I prefer in person auditions, (I’m old school that way and love the interaction) I’m trying to get with the times and do self taping from home. What kind of equipment would I need for a good self tape? Can I use my iPhone to record? Are there any lighting kits anyone could recommend? Thank you!

Most self-tape auditions I've seen are either shot on iPhones or Macbooks, and then sometimes on the Canon 5D camera. And many times there's a Skype callback. The camera isn't as important as the lighting and the sound. Make sure it's not too shadowy and that it's quiet and you should be fine. Good luck!

Great advice The Silvers Brothers!
