Especially in COVID times, it can feel like we are working in an echo chamber. We send self tapes out into the "void", we aren’t in the same room as the reader and it's difficult to know if our work is resonating with our audience. It's more important than ever for us to confidently take control of our auditions from the moment we receive sides to the minute we exit the zoom audition/ hit send on the tape. In order to make an impression on casting directors, get called back and land work we have to stay sharp. 

​
