Anaruk Performing Arts

Ever since COVID-19 hit, the self-tape audition has become ubiquitous. But it seems like everyone just expected you to know how to do it!

• How to slate?
• How to do that awkward full-body shot?
• How do I name my files?

But forget all that noise. If I read my breakdown, I can get most of those answers (if you can't we'll show you how). But HOW do I do it?

• How do I light it?
• How do I set up the scene?
• How do I make the sound clean?
• How do I EDIT the darn thing?

And then there's the EQUIPMENT!!! Do I get a light ring (spoiler alert: NO! PLEASE, for the LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, DO NOT GET A LIGHT RING)? How much do I have to spend????

This class will answer ALL of those questions and more! We'll provide you with lighting styles. Budget options. A guide to fantastic sound. And do a quick overview on editing. We'll even provide you with an Amazon shopping list to maximize your home (and yes, TRAVEL) setup while minimizing the cost.

Finally, we'll give a great place to go from here.

Walter was represented in Atlanta, LA, New York and New Mexico while living in Denver YEARS before the pandemic. So he's been self-taping and BOOKING off of those tapes long before it was "cool." Combined with Risa Scott, professional photographer and actor, this class will get the self-tape beginner confident and knowledgeable in one day!
