13133: Stop Bitching About Changes In How We Audition. Right Now.

Hey there, hero!

The complaints about on-camera self-tapes have got to stop. Like, now.

Yes, it's different than it used to be.

But to rail against it is a super huge waste of time.

And you on-camera folk that are so pissed off that you have to do most of your auditions at home should take a page out of the voice over talent playbook. Because we've been auditioning at home for decades, and we've learned to leverage it to our advantage.

And you should do the same.

Yes, it's different, and might be a bit more difficult the first few times you do it. But it really isn't the onerous responsibility that some would have you believe.

And no, you shouldn't be paid for it. There are advantages to home self-tapes that more than make up for the disadvantages. And there are millions of free tutorials on how to do a competitive on-camera self tape, even if all you have is a window with natural light and a mobile phone.

It is what it is. Stop bitching, grab a new skill and get back to acting.
