 Hi you guys welcome to day one of my July self-tape every day So I'm gonna start off these videos with a quick little chat and then I'm gonna show you my self-tape So today is one of those commercial auditions where they ask you to tell us a fun fact about yourself and these especially I Believe are very important to practice because sometimes you're just in a rut And for me I usually base it off of what the company is about the company I'm auditioning for and try to see some kind of connection something this one since I Have nothing, you know, I'm doing it for practice. I decided to talk about my competitiveness and What has happened sometimes when I am super competitive? So for this one it is a commercial style audition Usually they will tell you how long they want it. So this one I'm doing 30 to 45 seconds So within that time you have to say something about yourself show your personality. Maybe something fun. Hopefully something fun and This one we're going to do a slate of your first and last name location and then a close-up smile As the slate every slate is different I'm different casting directors like it differently So we're going to do all kinds of different slates this month. And if you have feedback as far as Lighting the colors like right now. I'm realizing I really wanted to use this red backdrop. I'm realizing. I don't know Red and yellow not sure if they look the best together But we're gonna try it out today and you can let me know if you are an actor if you're in casting Whatever give me feedback about these self tapes and then in August I'm going to share what I learned and also Contact an acting coach so they can help me improve myself tape So as you can see I have a bunch of different backdrops well a bunch, you know for backdrops, which I absolutely love and Usually I will use the gray or the blue for auditions And I just want to see if I can play with red and pink and also with just actually being in the space Like if the audition is for somebody that's supposed to be in the living room or on a desk or on their bed Whatever the audition is I want to try and experiment with that as well So feel free to give me feedback about whatever you want And I'll take it if I want it and then I won't if I don't so here is a today's self tape.
