self-tape auditions

Self-tape auditions are a modern casting method where actors record their performances at home or in a studio and submit the videos to casting directors instead of auditioning in person. This process allows actors more flexibility and control over their performances, enabling them to reshoot until they’re satisfied. Casting directors can review multiple submissions quickly and at their convenience. Self-tapes often include specific instructions, such as scene readings and technical requirements, and they have become essential in the entertainment industry, especially during times when in-person auditions are challenging.
