A great performance can still be harder to evaluate if the self-tape setup is working against you.
Three things actors often overlook:
Eyeline — Where you place your reader changes how the performance feels on camera.
Lighting & background — You don’t need a movie set, but casting does need to see you clearly without distractions.
Reader placement — Too far off-camera, too close to lens, or constantly moving can all affect the way your performance reads.
These are exactly the kinds of things we’ll break down hands-on at the Tame Rabbit Self-Tape Audition Workshop, along with framing, sound, slates, submissions, and what casting actually needs to see.
Featuring Casting Director Roni Hummel.

As a working film production company, Tame Rabbit spends a lot of time on the other side of the camera — directing actors, building scenes, shaping performances, lighting faces, choosing lenses and creating images that allow a performance to come through.
