Actors: How To Look Good On Camera (for Self-Taped Auditions)

In this video, we're not talking about makeup or wardrobe. Instead, we're delving into the relationship between you and the camera lens. The VAST MAJORITY of actors don't understand this concept, so there's a chance this video may be eye-opening.

Let us know in advance if you ever do a script analysis class online. I find sometimes that is SO important, and that the sides picked by the CD are chosen because they're asking you to mine certain information and present your reaction and/or read of it. It can be tricky. I feel like we fall into the traps sometimes..

Man, this was SO good. From “I already look good” which made me cackle, to that Horatio scene lmaooo. Great tips as always, big hug to you guys, happy holidays!

Great as always! Question: I have seen actors who put together an actual "set" for their self tapes. For example, the character is a teacher sitting at their desk speaking to the student in front of them.
The actor sets up a desk with props and such and delivers the audition that way. Is this actually encouraged or too much?

Hey Matt! So how far back do you recommend an iPhone and/or an iPad camera for best results?
