Monday Myth Debunkers: We Don’t Watch Every Self Tape.

π—›π—²π—Ώπ—²β€™π˜€ π˜π—΅π—² π˜€π—°π—Όπ—Όπ—½:⁠
⁠
Are you sending your self tapes out into the ether?⁠
⁠
Are we actually watching 𝘦𝘒𝘀𝘩 𝘒𝘯π˜₯ 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 self tape we request?⁠
⁠
Let’s re-frame this question in order to better answer it:⁠
⁠
Would we be requesting tapes we have no interest in watching?⁠
⁠
Our answer is an emphatic 𝙣𝙀.⁠
⁠
We assure you, we are in the business of finding the best actor for the role, not the business of wasting anyone’s time. ⁠
⁠
Your time (just like anyone else’s) hold value. ⁠
⁠
Trust that we know and understand that. ⁠
⁠
Trust that part of 𝘰𝘢𝘳 job is to only select the actors who we undoubtedly believe stand a chance at booking the job. ⁠
⁠
And for that reason alone, we watch every single self tape (or at least, the first few seconds). ⁠
⁠
If we don’t believe what you’re saying in the first 15 seconds, yes, your tape may not be watched all the way through. ⁠
⁠
But if you show up authentically and do the work, know (and trust!) that your tape will be watched in its entirety. ⁠
