The self tape I performed was a monologue I had written about JB Priestly telling his life, I think as the author I am, I wrote a wonderful monologue but when I did the self tape I don’t think I did it well, I will name stuff that I did well and what I needed to improve.
In the tape, I started by stating my name and the role I was auditioning for. I felt like I spoke clearly and confidently to the camera. When I was doing the video, I seemed to be losing focus and looking around which is something I am working on. I think I rambled as I had learned my lines and was not using a script to read from. In future, this could be improved by either using a script or making test videos to practice my lines more. I had never done a self tape before and felt shy in doing so but I think I did a good job in narrating and telling JB’s story as I was clear and included important information that I needed to. I think the video sounded clear and the picture was in good condition. I recorded this video in the canteen with a wall behind me and I think it was a good background for the video. Next time, I could use the dance studio and the curtains in it.
