My son is in the industry and it’s always so much work 😩 they always ask for 8 photos (both sides of hands, both side profiles, half body, full body, portrait and portrait smiling). Then the introduction video (slate, show hands both sides, show both side profiles, full body shot walk up and down). And finally the “actual” audition video

I have a question, if you’re ready to apply for a role on backstage or a self submission website and you see no script is attached do you just use an old video or make up a script or what?

Hmm, it's not very clear to me on the file size. So, for a 1-minute video, what file size/resolution is appropriate?

Do you need to have the sides memorized in a self tape audition ? Or is it more of a cold read

Do you recommend holding the sides in the self tape or not?

Yes! Just look for nationwide/worldwide casting calls. Practice your American/English accent too.

Commenters: please don't think you're going to send a self tape in and become a star. This is work advice. Self tape for local productions. Nobody is going to fly you overseas to work on a show. Baby steps. Cheers.
