Self Taping for Caregivers 101

Want to know how to create the ultimate self tape? We cover: breaking down the brief, the set up and technical, directing and common acting mistakes, uploading/editing and what happens next. Let's demystify the process, and make sure your actor is able to shine! This was created for the Young Actors Company, but I am delighted to be able to share it with all of you. A lot of self tape guides are directed at the actors, this is designed to help those amazing people who are behind the camera too! Everyone will have different preferences when it comes to taping, but having been doing it for the better part of a decade, this is what I have found works best. Please also keep in mind that this is for the UK market, and other countries may do things differently. If you have any questions, please let me know in the comments. --- Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:55 Breaking down the brief 05:08 Set up and Technical 13:25 Acting and Directing 24:41 Common Acting mistakes 31:27 Uploading and Editing --- The mic I am using is a Hollyland Lark M1.
