HOW TO START YOUR SELF-TAPE
🎬 Your first 10 seconds have to be amazing. Casting directors don’t have time to watch every second of every self-tape. Grab them right away. Don’t ease in. Drop in.
🔥 Start in the middle of the story. Use breath, movement, or imagination to hit an emotional 10 before you roll. Let us catch you living, not performing.
💡 Prep like it’s a live moment: improvise the lead-in, give yourself an adjustment, or pull a random word from a book to spark something new. Anything that makes it feel fresh, embodied, and truthful.
⏱️ The first 10 seconds might be all you get. Make them magnetic.
