Technical Guidelines
Please follow the guidelines listed below to prepare your videotape/DVD. We will not consider media that do not meet these guidelines.
-
The tape should be 1/2 inch VHS (NTSC) format. This is the standard home-use format. Or, you may submit a DVD.
-
A full-body shot of the auditioner during the entire audition should be provided.

A quality tape will enhance the audition. Fuzzy focus or poor sound is not to your advantage. Please watch your tape before submitting.

Do not send a "reel" of previous production or professional work.
-
Label your videotape/DVD with your full name and program of interest.
- Enclose a photograph and résumé with your video.
Style
You should submit two (2) monologues, each being 2-minutes in length. The monologues can be either a comedic or dramatic contemporary piece. Please include a synopsis of the text you are performing. Before you tape the performance of your monologues, please answer the following questions on the tape. Please allow no more than five minutes in which to answer the questions.
