Audition Tips
Please slate: Give your name and height at the beginning of the tape.
Framing: The audition should be recorded in a Medium Full Shot (from the knees up).
Keep it simple: All we need is to see and hear the performer clearly. It can be recorded on a computer or phone – keep it as simple and accessible as possible.”
A Note on Performance Capture:
Videogame performance tends to be somewhat more heightened and less subtle compared to screen acting. Physicality and facial expressions are key, as overly subdued movements may not translate well in the animation.
