So the holidays have a us a little behind. Weโre switching things up and coming in with a TUESDAY Myth Debunker. We promise itโll be a good one ๐โ
โ
Double-tap if youโve ever gotten a cmail notification only to be let down by another pesky self tape extension notice. โ

๐๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ.โ
โ
This was the audition you felt you nailed. โ
โ
CLEARLY they must have extended the deadline because no one did it for them. โ
โ
Right?โ
โ
Most likelyโฆ ๐ช๐ฅ๐ข๐ก๐.โ
โ
There are so many reasons why casting might extend a self tape deadline and it had nothing to do with your line fumble. โ
โ
Here are a few reasons we might extend the deadline that have absolutely nothing to do with you:โ
โ
1. We didnโt get as many tapes as we had hoped and just want to give more people a chance to tape.โ
2. We decided to push our pitch to the creative team in hopes of including a few more choices.โ
3. Weโre waiting on a few certain people to tape who were specifically requested by execs.โ
4. A few people needed an extension so we had to open the Ecocast back up for them (creating a notification for all).โ
5. The self tape request came close to a holiday and we decided to extend it to give people a little more time.โ
โ
None of this means you are ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต being included in the selection we are including to our creative team. โ
โ
And most importantly, ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐ค๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐จ ๐ข๐๐๐ฃ๐จ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฌ๐ง๐ค๐ฃ๐. โ
โ
Itโs just an extension. And most likely, some people needed more time and we havenโt pitched yet so we gave it to them.โ
โ
If you feel you did good work, chances are, ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฅ. โ
โ
Trust that, trust us, and trust the process.โ
