Now that summer is here, and the world is (somewhat) opening up, you finally booked a flight to go see your Aunt Susie and her parakeet. And the second you get on that plane, you get a self tape audition for �Sketchy Person #4� on the new �Blue Bloods� spinoff. And oh shit, it�s due by EOD, and can you really get away with doing a self tape in front of those shiny wood paneled walls in her basement?
Here is everything you need to make sure you have a surefire way for your self-tapes to ALWAYS look incredible when you are traveling.
Your phone and a good table top tripod with adaptor. I like this one. It�s $15 and comes with it�s own remote.
Don�t have a nice window with natural light? Don�t use a ring light. It looks bad. Grab two good LED lights. Smaller than soft boxes, easy to pack, you can put them anywhere, and it gets the job done. I like these.
A good external lav for your iPhone. I like this one.
A nice clean backdrop. This gray/blue popup flex works best.
For zoom auditions: I like this webcam. Way better than the camera on your laptop.
Acting lessons for Aunt Susie so she can be your reader.
Have fun! And remember� don�t suck!
