When in doubt, send 2 takes, right?โ
โ
Weโve covered this topic before but it felt time for a little refresh โจโ
โ
To start off, you should always default to the instructions given to you by the casting office. โ
โ
If they ask for 2 takes, give them 2 takes. โ
โ
If the role is a one-liner, a general rule is that it is fine to send 2 ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐จ takes (mean 2 different choices).โ
โ
If the role is not a one-liner and you were not asked to send in 2 takes? ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต๐๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐๐โ
โ
Reminder that if your tape was requested, itโs going to be watched in some capacity. โ
โ
And if we think your read is along the lines of what we are looking for, weโre going to watch both takes. โ
โ
But when a scene is 3-4 minutes long and many actors are sending us multiple takesโthis eats up a ๐ก๐ค๐ฉ of time. โ
โ
Especially when those multiple takes are edited into one file. โ
โ
What happens if we think youโre really right for a role but we know that your second take is likely the winner?โ
โ
We are either stuck having to edit out the first take ๐ค๐ง if we are very short on time and already have 9 other selects we like, that very factor might be the thing that sways us into not sending your tape. โ
โ
๐๐๐ !!โ
โ
Actors, this is ๐จ๐ช๐๐ an easy circumstance to avoid:โ
โ
1. IF the casting office asks for multiple takes, please, upload them as separate files.โ
2. If the casting office DOESNโT ask for multiple takes, use your #actorinstincts to choose your best take.โ
3. If the role is a one-liner, send 2 ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐จ takes.โ
โ
The more you help us, ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ข๐ค๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ก๐ฅ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช.โ
