 Hey, I haven't vlogged in so long and I'm about to record a couple of self-tape auditions But I just wanted to touch base with you. Uh, I haven't been pretty busy. I booked a few things and went camping and Of course the the month of July took a beating on me because I was doing self-tapes every day Sometimes more than one and so yeah I definitely want to update you guys with how I have been getting so many casting calls and self-tape auditions, so I will share with you my Tracker my audition tracker, but right now I need to Film these auditions and send them in. Hi, my name is Feljika and I'm an actress based out of LA and San Francisco And in the last three months, I did 73 auditions although in July 32 31 of those 31 of those were for The challenge I made for myself of filming a self-tape audition every day, but still in August I had 27 so I wanted to share with you guys all of my auditions what websites I use to Self-submit and also where else I have been getting auditions I usually do this every first Saturday of the month the last couple of months have been a little bit crazy I haven't been vlogging as much, but I like to vlog throughout the week and then post on Saturday You know just how what I've been doing what auditions I have been doing and Anything that's really going on in my life acting related So today I'm gonna break down the auditions that I got in June July and August because not every month is This busy and even not every year is this busy as far as self-tape this year already. I've done more auditions already than any other year in 2018 I believe is the last time that I really Logged every single audition and I want to say was like in the 80s and at the end of the video I'm going to give away the final 53 inch paper backdrop from Savage I told you guys this a few months ago that every first Saturday of the month I would be giving away a 53 inch paper backdrop, which is just like the one-and-a-half behind me I use these for my self-tape auditions and obviously for my YouTube videos, too This is not sponsored at all. I'll tell you guys about how to win it at the end of the video But let's get started with June. So June I only had nine auditions nine self-tapes None of I have not auditioned in person since 2019 2020 absolutely not I did not audition in a person 2021 still have not auditioned in person. So in June I got nine self-tapes Like I said one of them was from my Asian and it was a voiceover audition So I just recorded it here at home in my closet One of them was from aura casting and that was just a self-submission seven of the auditions were from casting networks So I submit for casting networks in both LA and San Francisco And I do have a tab for that on my spreadsheet where I you know put all of my information so I can keep track of everything and All of them, but one was commercials and then that other one was an industrial and If you haven't used casting networks, it is a very very very commercial heavy Both in San Francisco and LA. I see a lot of commercial postings in LA I definitely see a lot of music videos, which I I don't self-submit usually to music videos in LA. I'm just not interested and Also a lot of background you can find on casting networks and that's what in my experience in July I only kept track of three auditions and they were all from my agency MDT in San Francisco So those were all San Francisco auditions I did start self-submitting a lot more towards the end of July, but because I was doing my self-tape challenge I was just not Self-submitting as much and not keeping track of the ones that I was self-submitting for you know and auditioning for because I do remember that Towards the end of July I was doing a bunch of auditions one day and some of them work from self-submissions and some of them for work for My agents and I actually booked one of the auditions that my agency sent me and it's not out yet But once it's out, I'll share it with you guys But I was really excited to book that one because it's with the company that I really really like and it was really fun to film it I already filmed it, but we are going to do a quick reshoot Coming up soon. So I'll see if I can vlog while I'm there or at least Before and after in July I did 37 auditions with the 31 being for my youtube channel three being for MDT and then kind of sort of didn't really Remember what the other ones were but I know there were some more now August August was very very busy. I had 27 auditions and 12 of them were really close together as you can see here on my spreadsheet And another thing I noticed is that the casting office Kristen Beck casting has been Asking me for a lot of self tapes. So hopefully soon I can book something with them I would be very excited to Finally book something with them because I remember even when I used to do in-person auditions I would go to their casting office all of the time and it was always a great experience and in August I booked my first reality show and again, I will share that with you guys once it comes out It's nothing big. It's just one episode and of course just like with everything else I don't know if they're gonna use anything that I was in but once it comes out I'll definitely grab a clip and show it during one of my vlogs and I can you know Watch it with you guys I also booked one background job one film from home job and then one commercial job Unfortunately the commercial job there was a sickness in the production team And they had to reschedule it and then they rescheduled it to a date where I was going to be camping But that was a self submission through casting networks in August my agency in san francisco MDT sent me nine self tape requests and one of those were through or a casting So or you can submit to and you know, you just sign up and they can send you auditions and also if you have an agent Your agent can be in charge of handling the the ones that are a little bit bigger Usually agencies tend to do like 500 dollars or more because they do usually take 10 to 20% if it's a lower You know budget production or you're going to be paid a lot less And it's really not worth it for them to invest all of that time Into it if they're just going to get like five dollars, you know, they're not going to do that So in my experience for MDT, I know they said they would do 500 and above So um or I sense you anything that's maybe a little bit less or people that are under Not represented or um even background work the other 18 of the self tapes I did were through Um casting networks and some of them were just they had a script online And they said anybody who fits this go ahead and submit a self tape And then some of them were media requests So I do have it on my spreadsheet if it was a media request I put that so that I know I didn't just submit without them actually even knowing You know who I was and them wanting me to submit So a lot of them were media requests where they were hey, you submitted to this Now we would like you to send in a self tape and then some of them They just put a script and they're like anybody who Wants to send in a self tape send it and those I Usually only do if I can do it within the first day or two because I know a lot of people are going to be submitting So I want to make sure I'm one of the first ones so that they can actually see my self tape because I just don't know How many self tapes they are getting because most of the ones where they just put a script and they're like Send it over are in LA and I know LA casting is a lot more busy than s of casting All four of the jobs that I booked in august I booked through casting networks and I booked myself So not through my agency and in general in the last few months on instagram I definitely find out about a lot of casting calls open casting calls and I will share them When I can on my instagram or through the cast and project instagram that I have talked about in the past a few times My agency of course sends me a lot of self tapes usually for commercials industrials and voiceover because they do represent me across the board And I have also been submitting to actors access both in LA in San Francisco Of course, I submit to LA in San Francisco anytime I can And then I also auditioned for The netflix reality So if you don't know netflix is having a huge open casting call for their reality shows and I did end up sending in a video And you can send in a video too. I did a short about it and a video about it But um, you can watch that I'll link it right here in case you're interested in maybe being in a reality show I think reality shows are really fun. I love like cooking shows Um, I recently watched love is blind that show is really good too. Even though I was very angry during the marriage parts. Anyway Um, and then of course like I mentioned aura I also submit through aura whenever they have an opportunity and for them. I have usually seen Um, a lot of san francisco based auditions But when you sign up for it, it does say that it's basically all of california in the last three months I have been auditioning a lot for voiceover a lot for commercial and then quite a bit film at home Although I don't know if I want to continue doing the film at home. I just I don't know I don't really like this style maybe in the future once I really process it I'll make a video about it. But for now I'm just I don't know I'm not feeling it right now, but we'll see we'll see if things change And I definitely want to audition more for scripted things movies tv shows web series So I'm going to keep an eye out for that and I'm going to continue to be submitting on actors access and of course I am seeking representation in la and I know once I get representation like theatrical representation on in la I will be able to audition more for those types of things But um, those are all of my auditions for this month or This recap of the last three months because I haven't I'll make sure to do another one the first saturday of october But I wanted to tell you about the giveaway.
