Audition Taping

About Taping

Verve also offers taping of auditions for out of town and in town Self-Tape audition requests and casting. Depending on the length of the sides, and if the actor is off book, a 45- or 60-minute session should be sufficient for the taping and post-production.

Video auditions include the use of camera, lighting, sound, reader off camera, and post-production (compression and delivery of file). Verve's backdrop is blue. Actors are asked to come camera and performance ready, with a copy of the sides and any taping/delivery instructions.
