Do not read both characters’ lines.
Please have someone read the other character’s lines off-camera.
If filming on a phone, be sure to film horizontally, NOT vertically.

AUDITION MATERIAL BREAKDOWN (2 separate video files)

1. AUDITION SCENE x1 (pick one character to read)

Performance Note: Please keep performances naturalistic and grounded.
(If you’re not sure what we mean by grounded and naturalistic, shows like Yellowjackets, Euphoria
and The Wilds are all good references. Local shows would include Year Of or The Hunting.)
