SELF TAPE

Pre-Screen Audition Requirements

Step 1. Apply

If unable to attend a live prescreen audition, a self tape submission will be accepted. You must select video submission on your application.

You must apply to attend the A1 Conference here before submitting a self tape. Any self tapes received prior to a completed application will be discarded.

Step 2. The Set-Up

Woohoo! You’ve completed your application! Now it’s time to create your self tape pre-screen audition video.

Please make sure you are in good lighting and a solid background. A wall works just fine.

Nothing else should be in the shot except for you. You are the focus, let’s make sure everyone’s attention is on you. Please make sure your audio is clear. You should be in a three-quarter shot for the entirety of the audition. Please shoot your audition in landscape (horizontally).

Step 3. Record

If submitting for both the non-singing room and the Musical Theater room you must complete both requirement in one video.
