for Actors

Since 2020, the vast majority of casting calls for television and film will take place partly or mostly in a self tape setting. This provides both opportunities (several takes, relaxed environment, increased time to work your audition) and challenges (reader chemistry, immediate casting director feedback, etc).

There are many things you can do to optimize both your Self-Tape setup and your audition to put your best foot forward. Click below for our tips to get the best out of your self tape.

In general you will receive all necessary instruction to successfully submit your audition either from your representation (agent) or directly from BDC. If you do happen to have questions, please direct them through your representation or email bethdaycasting@gmail.com. Be aware that due to a high volume of correspondence, there may be a delay in response when communicating directly with us.
