A Before a client makes a final choice, they would like to hear and see you, especially when it comes to commercials. You can present yourself through a live casting in the studio. Another way to do a casting is via e-casting or self-tape casting. A self-tape is an audition video that you make yourself. You won’t receive any financial compensation for a casting.

 

A A self-tape is a fast and efficient way of casting. The big advantage is that you have no travel time and costs, you’re more flexible in time and you can retake the recording if necessary. The downside is that you miss the feedback from the director. Click here for more tips to make a great self-tape.
