IF AUDITIONING FOR JANE:
Jane has a total of two lines despite being the protagonist; she has to be able to convey a lot with just her face.
Self-tape is a short (30 sec) video of you reacting to some news over the phone. You say only three phrases:
“Yes?”
“What?”
“I don’t know.”
It is up to you how you choose to interpret this prompt, what’s important is the story you tell with your face.
IF AUDITIONING FOR THE MAN:
Self-tape is simple yet specific:
A wide shot of you sitting somewhere, facing the camera and smiling (look up Benjamin Bennett).
This is similar to a key moment in the film that is important for upping the scare factor.
