We are in an age where projects are being shot everywhere, auditions and callbacks are via self-tapes and Skype\/Facetime, and while there is no competition for uniqueness, there is great competition for roles and keeping up that online presence on several casting sites, and keeping up the funds as well. But what this translates to is an actor who must evolve in not only their acting, but in their personal, technological, and professional lives as well.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-13416\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2019\/01\/JGOLDSTON_PR.jpg\" alt=\"Jackie goldston PR\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Take self-taped auditions, for instance. This is an area that is foreign to the majority of actors. Being in the Southeast, we have made this a tantamount priority, and we have perfected it. Professional actors in the Southeast audition a lot, \u00a0a heckuva lot, and know how to audition. \u00a0With so many actors moving to the Southeast in the past 10yrs, the proverbial audition-game has changed. SE casting directors are given literally thousands of actors to choose to audition for any one role, and they see hundreds of tapes for that one role. While auditioning is an art in itself, self-taping takes that to a completely new level &#8211; to really be able to compete at a high level, \u00a0we actors also have to be technically savvy (or know someone who is).\u00a0 Simple but standard requirements are: a plain medium blue or gray background, good and even lighting to see the color of the actor&#8217;s eyes, and good sound. Affordable light kits are easy enough to find on Amazon. A simple corded lav mic with dual mono sound will do the job the best (I use an Audio Technica 20&#8242; corded lav mic out of my DSLR camera. Very affordable). These requirements are so *the actor* is the only thing seen\/heard, not any distractions that could potentially make the CD hit that delete button. NO colorful or patterned backgrounds, pah-lease!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2019\/01\/ShotsFiredScreenshot.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-13417\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2019\/01\/ShotsFiredScreenshot.png\" alt=\"Jackie actress\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2019\/01\/ShotsFiredScreenshot.png 1211w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2019\/01\/ShotsFiredScreenshot-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2019\/01\/ShotsFiredScreenshot-1024x573.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2019\/01\/ShotsFiredScreenshot-768x430.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>This is where I chime in with my Chapman experience. I had the honor of learning from some of the best film and acting teachers in the nation. I learned acting, of course. I also learned camera-work, sound, lighting, editing, desktop publishing, graphics, etc&#8230; I was made, excuse the pun, camera-ready from the moment I began my short time at Chapman. My basement houses a studio (since 2007), where I tape myself and other local professional actors.\u00a0 I also use it for photography.\u00a0 I am a live camera operator for live events as well.\u00a0 You see, I have four jobs that are industry-related. I am able to sustain myself financially because of my CU training, for which I am oh-so-grateful. It is one thing to learn something. It is another to indeed use it to your advantage. \u00a0I get a kick out of saying that I shoot other actors, and all actors need to be shot. I am one, so it\u2019s okay. &#8230;corny, I know.
