 Hi, my name is Belhika and I'm an actress based out of California and I am doing self-tape auditions every day of July and today is Tuesday July 6th and this week we are doing commercial auditions where they ask you to do an action. Some of them have lines, improv lines or lines that they give you but mostly it's actions because they want to have somebody do the actions and then put music and voice over above it, you know, over it. If you want to join me all of the details are in the description and the pinned comment but all of this week it's going to be commercial actions. Next week we are going to record clips of special skills the week after monologues and then the last week scenes so I feel like we're going from easy to harder and harder and I'm just really proud that I've made it this far and we are also doing different slates so we can practice just you know a variety of different slates and get really good at saying hi my name is Belhika Rodriguez which without without sounding like a robot because that's one of the feedbacks that I got was that like my personality was totally gone in some of the feedback that I got from previous self-tapes from um coaches yeah so I want to be good at just easily being able to say that and not having to say hi my name is Belhika Rodriguez 30 times before every self-tape. It wasn't 30 it was more like 10 but it's a waste of time to just have to repeat myself when I'm just introducing myself so for today's template it is uh the slate is name location union and agent that's it no full body shot nothing else that's that's that's just the whole slate and this is going to be um landscape or uh horizontal and then for the actual audition is the doorbell rings you look through the peephole can't see anything or anyone there and then when you open the door there's a fun surprise and for me I bought flowers and I actually bought flowers a few days ago preparing for today but the flowers aren't doing great so you might see maybe I can angle the camera or get rid of um the bad flowers but I'm going to be using my front door area because I have received a surprising amount of self-tape audition requests where I need to use my front door and I know it's because there's a lot of delivery apps delivery companies online shopping um new doorbells like the doorbells with the cameras there's so many new ones coming out so um I just want to practice filming outside in my hallway and not being embarrassed of my neighbors seeing me which there's like not that many people that walk by anyway so let's film this self-tape and then I can show it to you and I think I'm gonna yeah I'm gonna use this pink one today just because I'm feeling like pink and also what I have noticed so far even though I've only been doing this for today's the sixth day is that I need more clothes the outfits that I have been wearing have been pretty boring um and just like what I actually wear in real life but not so much necessarily representing you know what I would be auditioning for so thrifting is in my future because I need more clothes for you know for my non-artistic life but also to audition with and here is the self-tape I did hi my name is Peljica Rodriguez I'm in San Jose non-union with MDT let me know what you thought about the self-tape super easy just a reaction shot to getting a surprise at the front door nothing too crazy but like I said the intensity of these auditions are going to get really hard really quick I really need to start memorizing today for the future monologues and scenes although I was thinking it might be realistic for some of them for me to have my paper on hand just because you know sometimes you'll get a self-tape request and then you'll have maybe two days in to turn it in and you will be required to either be off book or partially off book or you know they won't mind so much if it's the first audition anyway thank you so much for watching if you have any feedback about anything of the self-tape today let me know in the comments and if you want to join the little challenge that I'm giving myself you can join me too and I'm giving one of these savage paper backdrops not sponsored but they are giving us the backdrops for free all of the details are in the description thank you so much for watching and 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
