A practical checklist for screen actors who want sharper performances, cleaner setups, and a repeatable process for film and television auditions.

This checklist is built around six sections designed as a quick pre-submission workflow — so you can reduce guesswork, save time, and avoid the most common self-tape mistakes.

Pre-Tape Prep — Lock in your scene analysis, sides breakdown, and environment before you hit record. No more scrambling between takes.

Performance Check — Run through framing, eyeline, energy calibration, and the subtle adjustments that separate screen acting from stage acting.

Camera Setup Check — Confirm your angle, framing, focal length, and background so your tape looks clean and intentional — not like an afterthought.

Sound and Lighting Check — Dial in audio levels, eliminate background noise, and set lighting that flatters without looking like a production set.

Submission Review — Watch your tape back with a critical eye. Check pacing, continuity, and whether your read actually lands on screen.

Final Send-Off — File naming, format, upload specs, and the last details that make your submission look professional from the moment casting opens it.

One purchase. Lifetime access. Use it before every audition.
