Many of you have asked what equipment I use when doing my self tapes, so here is a list of the products I like. If you click the images it should take to you the amazon link:
This blue/gray backdrop has made a world of difference in my audition tapes. I was shooting on a white wall before, which worked, and was fine, but I think the blue contrast makes my skin look much better.
This is the stand and the clip you use to hold the blue/gray backdrop in place. You attach the clip to adjustable stand so you can raise or lower the backdrop and then the clip will hook on to the blue/gray backdrop to keep it in place.
I use this computer stand when I have to do zoom/ virtual auditions. I prefer using my computer over my phone because I think it’s easier to see everyone who’s in the room (director, other actors I’m playing the scene with, etc). It moves up and down too so it works well if you need to get a full body shot, or change your set up to be seated in your audition.
