      Great question man! I would have to look and see if I still have the name some where. Here is the thing to keep in mind though, depending on the light you put on the wall it will change what you see on camera. I light it up a bit for comedies and keep it dark for drama.

      :) I would keep in mind most of the time, I would advise to keep props off screen in general. The more advanced you become it won't matter as much but while you are in your early years of acting props in self tapes can cause more harm than good at times. Keep in mind I am not sure where you are in journey.

      You can shoot in 4k if you can be sure to render the video smaller in editing, or be sure your phone is at least set to 1080, but most phones now a days are pretty simple or are preset to a dynamic range.

      there are a few good websites where you can find people that will read with you, or you can higher. You can also have someone over zoom or on the phone to work with you, but the preference is someone you can see as to help you connect to someone when you are talking. If you are in classes get a little group that you support eachother and or jump on Facebook and look for actor support groups.

    Great advice...I Stay on course, keep working hard, enjoy each opportunity to play another role presented in every audition. Strong choices, strong listening , present. It's fun, it's creative expression. It's key what you mention, if casting keeps bringing you in, your doing something right. Never give up. Stay on Course.❤️ Absolute truth, the reference to acting class. Great tips. 3 roles. I'm SAG- AFTRA LA and Actra. My Agent submits me for anything and everything. I feel my agent is not specific to my brand. But I do it all. Supernatural -Angel, izombi -poker Dealer, Diary of a Wimpy kid Hollys Grandmother. I am none of those things...lol My favorite role...Nurse Ratched Tomorrow never comes Lizzy Borden filmed at Linda vista LA. Lol American Mary -Mary's Hungarian Nana Grandma voice. Not a grandma, not hungarian. Lol random. I did it all. Recently I fired my agent because mt contract Lawyer identified she lied about being licensed for my province. She was from a close province but my province is the only one that requires a license. Thats why I wasn't booking, she legally couldnt book me. Casting couldn't either by my union. She wasnt credible or known by casting. Ugh! I'm now self- represented on CW and Casting email me auditions directly. I feel a credible Agent is best. Just opens more doors. I'm updated my demo, headshots etc and currently approaching Agents that I know are licensed. Best accurate info guys. Thank you!
