<p>Hi i'm a student in Korea so obviously i cant fly to the states to audition for skools. i have make an audition tape but has anyone made it before? i tried to make one last time but then it hardly captured my facial expression. i was on stage so i used the stage lights because the video looked too dark without them but then again once i used the lights, they were too bright that my face was totally washed out
what should i do? should i rather film it in a room rather than on a stage? or should i wear stage make up on to show the distinct feature of my face?
help me out here thanks!</p>
<p>Hi, I think you need to talk with a videographer, someone who makes videos for a living (like for weddings and such). Explain that you are trying to make an audition tape for college and see if they will give you some advice for lighting, make-up etc. You may have to talk to a few to find someone willing to advise you. You might also try to find a book about making video tapes. Also I don't think you want the video to be too "produced", the auditioners might think it's been "fixed" and doesn't show you how you really are, which is very important!
Good Luck!</p>
<p>Do you have a coach or s/o you've worked with that can help you? My daughter's coach just uses natural lighting (daytime) and a white wall, and a stool to sit on, no other props are appropriate, I believe. I wouldn't recommend stage makeup. There are some coaches on this site, perhaps you can pm them, also. Good luck!</p>
