HOW!? HOOOOW did we get so lucky to have you two breaking this down and making this video for us? I so appreciate all of this valuable information, thank you both so much. One question - do you have a mic adaptor recommendation for a mic with a USB cord? I love my mic but have always had to do the painstaking work of syncing it in post.

I have a small house with very little space to set up my backdrop (still a struggle), and this helped me to find ways to adapt. Curious as to how you feel with a curtain backdrop? If only I had a live in reader with this dedication 😅. Y'all are amazing! Thank you!

Well I couldn't agree more with what everyone else is saying!! I am a completely technology challenged 62 year old, just coming back into the industry where I worked professionally for the first 40 years of my life, now intimidated overwhelmed and having impossible time moving on until I came upon you guys!!! You inspired me to just slow down, get methodical ,get over the fact that I hate how I look on camera..ASK FOR HELP, and just go for it. Thanks to you guys, JUST LAST NIGHT, I hit a young man up who knows technology, offered him 100 bucks to put down 3 minutes which shouldn't take more than a couple hours...and he's going to help me tonight after his show.. my first 3 minutes video submission ever !! I think I'm the only one left in America who never even zoomed during the pandemic!!! . This has been and still is such a challenging time for the all of us... And they this pandemic on top of other global challenges..I've come to realize the arts are more important than ever... To keep us human... sharing ...connected . And I've always believed it doesn't matter whether you're performing in a 20 seat space or a 5000 seat Broadway stage it's just the connection between human beings and it isn't even important that I get whatever I'm going for this first time around just that I get back at it..... Your overwhelmingly generous attention to detail....the fact you guys are taking time out of your busy young lives....clearly for no great monetary reasons....gifting us all your hard learned lessons..... well it means an enormous amount to those of us who have gotten lost along the way! THANK YOU!!!!!

Ok as one who is on a budget, what would you recommend upgrading first? (Currently use phone, ring light, computer speaker for accompaniment, and a blanket backdrop). Also off topic, congratulations to both of you on your new shows!!!!
@32BARCUT
@32BARCUT 2 года назад
Definitely get your background looking slick first. Find a good wall to paint or buy an unwrinkled backdrop and stands to hold it. Second, get a good bluetooth speaker like the Bose SoundLink. Great sound and power for the price! amzn.to/3q9kFF3 The lighting can wait, simply because you can always find a bunch of lamps you already own to make your lighting look good. If you can't get the lighting good, then definitely get that upgraded next. Camera upgrade should be last. Phones are getting so good in quality, the price trade off isn't quite worth it unless you are ready to spend 2-4K. Best of luck Katherine!

@32BARCUT
@32BARCUT Год назад
Hi Sandra! Small rooms do make filming a bit difficult. If you’re using your iPhone, you may be able to get just the right framing to shoot an audition. But you’ll want to test the sound and make sure that it’s clear. If you end up using a higher end camera, you’ll want to try a 35mm lens - but there may be some distortion because of the wide angle. Best of luck to you!!

Amazing video!! 😍😍 Quick question: I usually audition for cruise lines and I was never asked for a slate (neither from the agency). Now I’m getting one for a show onboard and they gave me a scene, so more musical theater-like. Again, no mention of a slate. Should I record one anyway? They do ask for a dance combo so that will be a full body shot. I’d love to hear your opinion!! Thank you 🥰🥰
@32BARCUT
@32BARCUT 2 года назад
Yes! I think you should slate. It will show your level of professionalism. Whether they ask for it or not. It is industry standard to slate. (Just once tho! Not for every clip you send)

@32BARCUT
@32BARCUT Год назад
That is a great point Anne! Hopefully this helps: Let’s use a clock to visualize the placement. Imagine you’re the 6 on the clock. Your front light is 12. Place another light at 3 & 6, but aimed towards you (that will knock the shadows off the wall). If you have access to one more light and an adjustable tripod to secure it, you can add the hair light. It’s place up above your eyeline and at 5 o’clock, still pointed towards you! Good luck with all of your auditions and thanks so much for watching and subscribing!

@32BARCUT
@32BARCUT 2 года назад
We used a heavy duty support beam made for photography and a ring light attached to it. Here is a link to the support beam we used. amzn.to/3uspmLS it’s an affiliate link, but no extra cost to you. The one we used, is pretty pricey, but very sturdy and nothing has ever toppled over. There are less expensive options too! We attached our ring light to the end of the neewer heavy duty support beam and voila, a hair light that never fails. Our ring light also has a remote control to turn it on and off, so we just leave the hair light set up all the time and ready for self tapes. Here is a link to the ring light as well. amzn.to/3bVkSHe Please let us know if you have more questions! Thanks for watching, break a leg!

Here’s a link to that - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YFMP8nBI4ME.html For your lighting set up, you need at least three lights. One for the front and two side lights to make sure there are no shadows on your wall behind you. Try a triangular shape. Best of luck to you! We hope you book something soon!
