Members Get Advice on Self-Taping

At the Oct. 27 Self-Taping for Actors workshop in Las Vegas, Tim Powell discussed how to produce clean, high-quality video-audition uploads on a tight budget. Powell is an actor, producer, coach and teacher who has been recording and delivering video auditions for actors since the late 1990s. Attendees benefited from his extensive knowledge, acquired during the more than 10 years he owned and operated a video production company and through interacting with the best experts in this field.

Powell also offered advice on how to compress and deliver audition uploads to agents and casting directors, as well as pointers on lighting techniques, audio, composition, and editing with computers and phones. 

Nevada Local Conservatory classes such as these can be a great resource for performers and are another benefit of SAG-AFTRA membership.
