 Hi, my name is Bilhika and I'm an actress based out of California and I'm going to be posting a self-tape audition every single day in July. And you can join me too if you want. I'll be posting the week's schedule in the description so you can follow along with me. And if you do, I'm going to be doing a giveaway. But yeah, I just had this idea of, oh, I should just post a self-tape every day. I should practice more, especially because I'm not getting as many theatrical auditions as I would like and I don't have as many clips of specific roles I want to play and I don't have clips about of my skills and I just want to be able to put a bunch of clips on my casting website so that it's easy to know what I can do. So I thought, why not try and do a self-tape every day in July and post it here and you guys can join me. I'm going to be doing commercial auditions, theatrical auditions. And I was inspired by a friend who tried to do this a few months ago and also I know there's a lot of self-tape challenges out there for different programs. But yeah, so you can join me if you want. You don't have to pay anything. I'm going to be putting the template in the description every Friday for the following week because I'm theming every week differently. It turns out July is pretty long. There's 31 days and technically like five weeks. So I'm going to be theming each week differently. So like I said, some of them are commercial. I'm going to start with the commercial ones. July 1st through the 3rd is going to be the first week of it. And that one's going to be the self-tape questions, the commercial questions that they usually ask you about your personality or something related to you. Like, tell us something about yourself. What's your favorite food, that thing. And then for the second week, some kind of action. And then some of them have a single line. For example, sometimes they're like, you're sitting at your desk and then you get a phone call or you answer a Zoom meeting or something because for a lot of auditions or a lot of commercials, they just want somebody doing an action and then you have a voiceover for commercial auditions. I've noticed this especially for the auditions that I send over in San Francisco for my agents. And then the third week is going to be July 11th through the 17th and that's going to be the skills. So I do have quite a few different sets of skills that I haven't put on tape that sometimes is needed and I'm like, oh, shoot, I have to go do it. So that whole week is going to be different skills. And also for each one, I'm going to give you different types of slates so you can practice different kinds of slates because sometimes they don't want one. Sometimes they just want your name or your location, you know, so you can practice different kinds and give the casting directors what they are asking for. So make sure to always read the information, the directions for yourself tape so that you can send them what they are asking for exactly. And then I'm going to be doing monologues because I am doing this every single day. They're not going to be the longest monologues because I also don't want to torture myself. I am doing this for fun and to learn. And maybe this will also help me even more with my memorizing skills. But that week is going to be monologues. And then the final week of July is going to be scenes. So theatrical scenes. There's a lot of shows that I would love to audition for. So I am looking for a bunch of scripts right now. I have a few, but I'm still looking of characters I could play. And so then when I do, you know, get a new agent in LA and, you know, audition for different things and they can see that I can play those characters. So that would also be super beneficial for having super beneficial to have on my casting websites. So for the commercial ones, I'm going to give you exactly the template of, you know, what to say, what to do. And then for the theatrical ones, if you want to do it with me, I'm going to point you to some directions where you can find scenes for yourself just because what I play, maybe you can't play. So yeah, so you can find a bunch of scripts. I found pilots online. I found just rehearsal scripts that weren't necessarily in anything. So I found that really helpful because it's fun to just be able to practice and not necessarily get something maybe from a show that you like because you want to, you know, not replicate that exactly. But yeah, so I'm going to be giving you the template and the, you know, the directions on where to find some more scripts and things like that. And if you do decide to do at least one self-tape with me this July, I'm going to be giving away a 53 inch paper backdrop like this. If you watch my vlogs, there's not going to be any Saturday vlogs in July because I'm going to be doing this. But instead of giving away the backdrop during my vlog, I'm going to be giving it away in July. If you do at least one of them, one of the self-tapes, you will be entered to win a 53 inch paper backdrop. And that is for anybody in the U.S. and no international territories again, because this is with Savage. They're putting the rules. They're giving us a free backdrop. So we have to follow the rules this time in the future. I'll try and include more people, of course. If you want to enter, do at least one self-tape with me. And then I will announce the winner for that one on August 1st. I'm also going to be contacting an acting coach and see if he can help me improve with, you know, improve these self-tape auditions so that I can use them for actor clips for my casting websites. And that will be in August after I'm done filming all of the self-tapes. But I'm so excited to be doing this. Also terrified, there's 31 days, but it's going to be fun. And some of them are commercial, so obviously they're less intense as far as having to memorize a bunch of things. So let me know if you're going to join me.
