 Hi, my name is Beljika Rodriguez and I am an actress based out of California and in July I am posting a self-tape audition every single day July 1st through the 10th I posted a lot of commercial type auditions and this week is the special skills Clips so they're not necessarily self-tape auditions Sometimes you might get a request of tell us something about yourself and then show us or show yourself Skateboarding what I want to do is I want to have clips of my special skills So that when somebody asks me when you submit to this include a clip of you skateboarding or Playing tennis or whatever your special skill might be I want to be able to have that clip because then I can submit to that immediately instead of being like oh Shoe, I don't have any clips of me. Let me go do it right now Of course if it's for an audition where they want you to do a certain slate and talk about yourself And then show yourself skating then you would want to film yourself again unless they say Oh, if you already have a clip of you, you know skating from six months ago, that's fine for my purposes I don't have clips of me doing any of my special skills so I am going to be filming those all week this week and I'm excited for For me to be able to just do all of them in one week and also to share with you some of the special skills that I have because I I am just I'm a pretty athletic person. I yes, I am an athletic person. I love running I love playing sports and This is such a great excuse to Get back into the groove of it because sometimes I don't skate for Months and then I remember like hey, I have a longboard and then I'll go skate You know a few days in a row or a few weekends in a row So I'm excited for that and then I recently bought some skates Which is today's video because I used to skate as a little girl Roller skate and roller blade and now I got some skates and I've only put them on a few times So today's example of the self-tape Clip is going to be something that you shouldn't do which is say you have a skill that you're not proficient at But you can say like you are an absolute beginner because if they are looking for that specifically like I would only submit myself as a Roller skater if they said we want people that are new we want people that are shaky and flimsy when they are skating I am not comfortable skating yet or roller skating yet without protective gear. So I'm gonna say that in my clip During this whole week for our skills or for my skills clips I'm going to do a small introduction at the beginning of what Level I am at these skills and then I'm going to do 30 to 45 seconds of me doing the actual skill And that'll be the general template for you too If you want to join me this month and gather some clips of your special skills The sleigh is going to be the same For all of them say your name and then talk briefly about what level you are if you're beginner intermediate advanced and then for the actual audition or the clip you're going to be Doing the special skills and I'm going to be using my blue backdrop because I think it'll bring out to the blue in this It'll just look nice So that's what I'm gonna do and I decided to be a little bit more fun because The the style of a lot of roller skaters is pretty funky and fun and colorful And I know that with so many people skating now the commercial industry Especially is going to start gearing towards those people, you know like if it's an AT&T commercial or a water commercial some water brand, you know There's going to be eventually More and more people who are like oh we need skaters because they're trying to target that demographic of you know roller skaters So that's one of the reasons why I wanted to film this clip and I'm definitely going to update this skill once I become More comfortable with it and then intermediate I don't think I'll ever be advanced because none of the sports I do really I ever become super advanced at it because I just Like doing so many things and I'm obviously not on any teams, but I can do these things. So for today Let me go film my intro and the skating and then I will see you guys after that Hi, my name is Belgium Rodriguez and I am my beginner roller skater. I can skate pretty well Don't know any tricks yet and I prefer to have my gear on when I do skate Thank you so much for watching. Let me know what you thought about my skating skills I have put on I've had those skates since april I bought them for myself for my birthday and I've probably put them on eight times But muscle memory is really it's a really beautiful thing because like I mentioned I I did roller skate and roller blade as a kid and a teenager and I As soon as I put the skates on like I could go straight really fast But the problem was stopping and I'm of course getting better at it every time I wear those skates But you know, I'm I'm still a little flimsy. So of course I'm going to be honest if I ever submit with this That I am an absolute beginner and I would only submit these clips to people that wanted beginners so I will update you guys once I get better at it. Maybe during christmas time or something But thank you so much for watching and at the end of every video I feature another channel and 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 about what your channel is about
