Disclaimer: All this is just my opinion from my experience in the business. It is not the rule for everyone. Remember just MY opinion. :) If you do book something, tell me, so one day I can hopefully give you a hug and say good job.
Let's begin.
1) Pick a background that is a solid colour (that's how we spell it in Canada eh!) Preferably not white. Light to Medium blues and greys work best. Maybe you have a bed sheet in your closet. Don't paint the wall and then have your parents call my agent to yell at me because I've now ruined the colour scheme in their house. lol.
2) Try to face the window so that natural light is hitting your face from the window. So, camera in front of window and you're standing facing the window. Natural light is always best, the creator knows lighting. Best times to record are before 12pm when the light really glows.
3) Don't wear clothes with busy patterns. Solid pastel colours always show up lovely on camera. Find one that goes well with your skin tone. But still stick to your style, dress how you do, just try to stay away from too many pattens
4) Don't over think it. Just be you. They're looking for awesome people with good personalities. "Trust that who you are is enough". When you have to tell them about yourself. Tell them a story, it'll show much more of your personality then just saying your name and where you live.
5) If you have to sing something, pick something that compliments your voice. Don't pick a Mariah Carey song if you can't hit the notes. Find something that highlights the beauty of your voice and makes you feel confident. :)
6) Just remember. If you mess up, it's ok. Breathe. You can start over again. That's the beauty of a video audition.
It think I've covered all the basics. Now go have fun. Break a leg my blooming stars :)
Respectfully,
TK
