– Basic advice for SELF-TAPING (tips on cameras, lighting, audio, etc)

– How AGENCIES develop their CASTING REQUIREMENTS

– How to PREP for a commercial audition

– The one big ADVANTAGE that self-taping gives you

– How to overcome common AUDITION CHALLENGES

– WHAT NOT TO DO during in-person auditions/callbacks
