Self Taping
What’s your process today for Self Taping?
Everything between receiving the audition in your inbox till sending it off?
Well
Firstly
Let me define my end state
I would like self tapes to feel
Easy, Meaningful, and Generous
Now
Let’s build toward that
Prep:
One - Clear yes, no or maybe
Two - Book necessary External Accountability (reader, coach, etc)
Three - Human Moment Prep (6-8 technical questions)
Day Of:
Four - Clear Focus (Set the timer for 45 minutes & write down how I would like to feel at the end of that designated time slot)
Five - Ritual (Breathing exercise and 90 seconds of honesty in front of the lens)
Six - PLAY
Seven - Share the work (Edit & Send)
And if it’s all too much to handle?
I ask the reader to hold an iPad up and I read it for the first time in the take
My point? Build what works for you
How would you like to feel at the end?
Then start backwards
Keep growing
It’s a living process
This will all probably be different tomorrow ;)
