You are Talented!  Who Are You as An Artist?
 

You are about to make a performance video that will be screened by industry professionals.  Make sure it's the best representation of who you are as an Artist! 

Are you a singer?  Submit a vocal performance video.  If you are an actor, submit a monologue performance video.

ACTORS and VOICEOVER TALENT:

Tips for making your video look more professional:

1. Choose a BACKGROUND that you think might be an appropriate for what you are performing. 

2. Use LIGHTS.....even if it is a bunch of lamps from your house.  Good lighting is essential in making a good quality video. 

3. Great SOUND is everything. Your audio should be crisp and clear. You want to avoid fuzzy, muffled, distracting background sound on your finished video.  

4. Avoid the SHAKES. Use a tripod, a surface, or have someone film you that has a very steady hand. 

5. If you are using your PHONE, use the camera on the back of your phone rather than the front. The back phone gives you a better quality.   Record in landscape mode (horizontally)...this gives you a bigger more pro looking image. 

6. REHEARSE first in front of a mirror, before you go on camera to make sure you like what you are about to record. 

7. IF you like to EDIT, shoot your performance several times from different angles. This will make your video more visually appealing.
