Video auditions are accepted as UNLISTED YOUTUBE links or GOOGLE DRIVE links ONLY.

Some helpful self-tape hints:
Early submissions are greatly appreciated and give us more time to spend on your video than those we receive at the deadline. You do not need fancy equipment. Using a phone camera is more than sufficient.
Film in landscape.
Make sure your phone is stationary and level. A tripod is helpful, but not necessary. It is easy to make a stand for your phone out of household items.
Choose a quiet, well-lit area with minimal distractions.
Natural light and ring lights are great, but you can also enhance with lamps. We want to clearly see your facial features and expressions.
You do not need to do a full-body frame unless your audition piece requires it. In most cases, an upper body frame is best.
Practice before filming! Prepare for this audition as you would for an in-person audition. Practice your song for vocals and acting before ever setting up your equipment.
If you are prepared ahead of filming, you should not need more than 3 takes. Do not over analyze details.
Be sure you’ve read all the audition details above and then to complete the Audition Form below to schedule an appointment or submit a video.
