Set a time limit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Give yourself 30 minutes to do it. With an in-perosn audition, you would get only 10 minutes to do your best. Having too much time on your hands can lead to overthinking about minute details. Avoid that by setting a timer for yourself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. The first 15 seconds are the most important<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The start of the video is where you should show who you are. The first impression will set you apart. Find ways to hook the casting directors in in those first 15 seconds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Send your self-tape to someone else to review<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ask someone close to you, who\u00a0 might not even be in the industry, to watch the video and give you feedback. You can easily get swept into perfecting your self-tape when you watch it over and over again. Having someone else review it can help to put you at ease.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Adjust the projection of your voice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Performing on stage requires that you project more. But with a self-tape audition, a normal speaking volume is ideal. Play the scene, not the setting. For example, if it is an intimate scene, you may want to use a softer volume.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Make sure that the file translates well when sent<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Send it to yourself or someone close to you to verify that the video is not pixelated, there are no issues to download the file, the sound is correct.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maxagency.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pexels-photo-593324-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.maxagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pexels-photo-593324-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.maxagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pexels-photo-593324-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.maxagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pexels-photo-593324-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.maxagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pexels-photo-593324.jpeg 1880w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Toronto Acting agency &#8211; self-tape audition tips &#8211; Toronto Talent agency<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/maxagency.com\/\">MAX Agency<\/a>&nbsp;is a successful Toronto acting agency representing&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/maxagency.com\/roster-men.php\">men<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/maxagency.com\/roster-women.php\">women<\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/maxagency.com\/roster-kids.php\">children<\/a>.
