Audition Notes

Filming on a phone is fine. Make sure you are well lit and easily heard. 

Please film three different takes on the material; film one take to faithfully adhere to the script, film one with something very different and over the top, then film one with your very own interpretation – whatever you feel makes it better. Have fun with it! 

Also submit a clip with a little about yourself and why you think you’d be good in the chosen role.
