Taping Self

What’s your process today for Self Taping?

Everything between receiving the audition in your inbox till sending it off?

Well

Firstly

Let me define my end state 

I would like self tapes to feel

Easy, Meaningful, and Generous

Now

Let’s build toward that

Prep:

One - Clear yes, no or maybe

Two - Book necessary External Accountability (reader, coach, etc)

Three - Human Moment Prep (6-8 technical questions)

Day Of:

Four - Clear Focus (Set the timer for 45 minutes & write down how I would like to feel at the end of that designated time slot)

Five - Ritual (Breathing exercise and 90 seconds of honesty in front of the lens)

Six - PLAY

Seven - Share the work (Edit & Send)

And if it’s all too much to handle?

I ask the reader to hold an iPad up and I read it for the first time in the take 

My point? Build what works for you

How would you like to feel at the end? 

Then start backwards 

Keep growing

It’s a living process

This will all probably be different tomorrow ;)
