Please read the following guidelines below carefully to ensure that your monologue meets the requirements and will be reviewed by our Celebrity Selection Council:

• Make sure your FilmFreeway profile includes your headshot and short bio.
  • If selected, your information will be included in a public announcement via our social media, newsletters, various studio/network platforms, and our event program. 
• You must choose 2 monologues to self-tape from the list of top 25 monologues (downloadable PDF included below) 
  • Monologues are organized by genre categories (comedy, drama, and dramedies.), but please select any two monologues that you best identify with or are appropriate for you. 
• Please be off-book but you may hold your printed monologues just in case they are needed.
• Monologues should have a clear sense of Character, Setting, and Incident. 
  • Who is your character?
  • Where is your character at? 
  • What situation is your character in?
  • What is your character’s goal?
• Include a slate and full-body shot at the end of your audition.
  • Make sure to tell us your name, what city you are based in, the name of the characters you are reading for, and one fun thing about you. 
• Your two monologues and slate should all be edited into one video.
  • Please label your self-tape as follows: First andLast Name_City_Ya Tu Sabes (Example: Jane Doe_LA_Ya Tu Sabes)
  • Submission should not exceed a total of 5 mins. 

SELF-TAPE SUGGESTIONS:

• Use a tripod to secure your phone or camera so you have a steady shot. 
• Make sure to record your video audition horizontally and not vertically.
• Frame yourself in a medium shot. The bottom of the image should hit around your chest and make sure to leave a little bit of space above your head.
• Please have good lighting (ring light, filming lights, natural lighting, etc.). We want to be able to see you clearly. 
• Be sure your sound is working and that we can hear you clearly. 
• Please keep your wardrobe simple, but make sure it hints at something your character might wear. If the script calls for a specific wardrobe, do your best to wear something as close to it as possible. 
• Feel free to either sit or stand for your audition. It all depends on what the scene calls for.
