 Hi, my name is Beljika and I'm an actress based out of California and I am doing a self-tape every single day of July. Today is only day three. For the first three days I am doing questions that you might get asked during a commercial audition. Today's I've done before and I want to give a huge shout out to the Meisner Center in Burbank, the Stanford Meisner Center in Burbank, California. I took an online workshop for self-tape auditions back at the end of 2020 and it was really helpful and this is one of the auditions that I did. And Ranjiv who was instructor for that course, he told me that it would have been fun if I brought my favorite food and showed it on camera. So that's what I'm doing today and that's something that I'm working on during this month exploring with props and costumes and settings. So I'm just exploring with all of that and today I wanted to incorporate the food. I hope it doesn't take too many takes because then I'm going to run out of the food and then I'm going to have to fill it up again. But let me give you today's template and the template for next week, all of next week is now in the description. So I'm going to be releasing every Friday the schedule for the following week. So you have a little bit of time to prepare and this one is the last day of the commercial questions and it is what is your favorite food and why and I am giving myself a time limit with between one and three minutes just to keep it concise. That's something that I'm working on also this month during self tapes to keep it more concise and for the slate we're going to do name, location, union, close up smiling and then a full body shot and I still have my cheeseboard if you have no idea what I'm talking about in yesterday's self tape I thought I should put this on the ground and then step on this so my carpet doesn't get crunchy and I'm pretty sure it worked. Let me know what you think about my full body shot today and see if you thought it worked too. I'm also of course playing with different colored backdrops and I'm trying to just wear different clothes for the sake of this YouTube channel so you don't see me in like the same clothes every day but also for self tapes just exploring you know wearing all of my clothes to see what looks best for what auditions but yeah so I'm playing around with this I just decided on a pink backdrop because I have four colors and I really wanted to start using these more especially during self tapes to make them more fun because usually I'll use like I have a huge blue one and then I have a red one behind me and a gray one over there but I'm playing around with those as well so let me show you today's self tape of what my favorite food is and why. Hi my name is Beljika Rodriguez I'm 5'10 in California. My favorite food are toasty locos and I love it because it has all kinds of different textures and sweet it's sour and if you don't know what it is it's a very specific type of Mexican junk food you can find it from variations but I like to put a handful of barbecue chips some cucumbers, mangoes and apples for different textures and sweet gummies I like the peach gummies and then a little bit of spicy gummies Mexican candy and to top it all off and bring it all together a bunch of tahini like way too much a quarter cup and then a couple of limes and chamoy to really bring it all together mix it up let it sit for a few minutes and then it's so good. Hi my name is Beljika Rodriguez I'm an LA and I'm non-union. My favorite food is actually a Mexican junk food and I call them toasty locos but there are a lot of names for it essentially it's whatever vessel it comes in plus locos which means crazy and so if you order it in a coconut it would be cocos locos I'm at home I just have it in a bowl I have it right here and I wanted to show it to you so it might look crazy if you've never seen it before but if you grew up eating this your mouth is probably salivating I love this because it has so many different types of textures and flavors it's gooey it's crunchy it's spicy it's sweet and what I like to put in it is fruit something crunchy chips a candy and a lot of chamoy tahini and lime so here I have takis today which are really crunchy but then they start soaking all of the chili I have peach gummies they soak up the chamoy so well cucumber mango and in Japanese peanuts which are essential to this but I just really like it I know I'm gonna have a bellyache soon what did you think about that self tape I hope I didn't make too many of you hungry and also and hope I didn't gross too many of you out because I know if you're not used to this kind of food just seeing so much food together it might be weird but I love it I thoroughly enjoyed eating all of that if you want to submit to the giveaway all the information is in the description and in the pinned comment as well as the templates if you want to do one or all of these and thank you so much for watching at the end of every video I feature another channel this is today's feature if you would like to be featured on my next video make sure you're subscribed like this video and leave me a comment my favorite food is actually a Mexican junk food I'm just gonna eat it I think I got the take
