How to Frame Yourself on Camera

Video Transcript

"Hi, on behalf of expertvillage.com I'm Lory Wyman from Lori Wyman Casting in North Miami Beach, Florida and today we're going to talk to you about on camera auditioning techniques. Hi, whenever you are auditioning it might be a good idea to ask the person who is running the camera, how are you being framed? What do I mean by that? That means are they video taping you from the waist up? Are they video taping you from the chest up? Or are they really, really tight on you? Because if they're really, really tight on you, then anything that you do with your hands doesn't really matter and you have to make sure that your face is really, really emphasized. Now we pull out a little, we go down, we go down and now it's important to see what the hands are doing. Now you want to make sure that if there's something that you need to say with your hands now is the time to do it. So it's always important to make sure you know how you are being framed."
