If you have been asked to submit a self-tape for a Breaking Jar Ltd project, please follow these instructions:
- LOCATION: Find a quiet space, with a calm, plain background. Check that both the lighting and sound are strong enough for you to be seen and heard clearly. Natural light is preferred, so record during daylight hours if you can.
- VIDEO SETTINGS: Record landscape (horizontal). If you are sending us a file to download, the resolution should be 720p or 1080p, file type MP4. If you are sending us a link to view (e.g. YouTube, Drive, or Vimeo), make sure the privacy settings allow others to view.
- CONTENT: You do NOT need to add a slate or personal introduction to your video. Only include your performance of the piece.
- FILE NAME: Ensure the video title includes your full name. If the video has a generic title (e.g. “IMG_001”), you need to rename the file before you send it to us.
- COVER LETTER: If you have been asked to submit a cover letter, that is the place to include all details about you, your eligibility for the role, and your interest in the character. Please do not send an AI-generated cover letter. It needs to be a brief personal note from you.
Thank you for following these instructions. We look forward to seeing your tape!
