Prepare to Video:
- It does not have to be professional! You can take it at your home, with your video camera (preferred) or iphone (if no other options exist)! Please just follow these specs:
- Ø Well lit (no shadows on your face)
- Ø Against a solid wall- preferably a light blue wall or other light color, white if only no other option exists (no distractions – dogs-kids-tv-etc- in the background)
- Ø Make sure I can hear it good with no noise in the background
- Ø Start off with a full body shot, slate “Hi my name Is – and I am reading for – “
- Ø Then zoom in to a head/shoulders view for the entire filming of audition
- Ø Prefer to have someone reading with you (who is NOT standing behind the camera – too loud!) They need to read softly and without expression. If you can not find someone to read with you, just PRETEND they are reading (do not do both roles) and be expressive and responsive to their statements.
- The most important thing is to react to the other person in the scene with you. Not OVER-react, just subtle, express yourself using your eyes!
- Film it twice, and review both, and send me the best one.
TO SEND YOUR VIDEO:
- Ø Please upload to a video share site (youtube, photobucket, vimeo)
- Ø You can title it whatever you want, to keep it unsearchable by the public
- Ø Do not set it as private, not only will I be looking at it, but others from production.
- Ø Do not send me the file as an attachment, zip file or yousendit package. This takes too long to download and open, tends to get lost on my computer & makes it more difficult & time consuming to send to other parties. Much easier and more efficient to upload to the share site as mentioned above.
- Send the link via email to KATZ@KATZKASTING.com and put “Fulcrum: Your Name Video”
- Make sure you include your name, phone number, email address, where you live & headshot / resume with your video submission.
