Videotaping Standards & Guidelines

 

  • Monologues must be uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo and submitted by 11: 59:59 PM, January 19, 2020.​​

    • If you are NOT having your monologue Produced:

      • We recommend that the recording of your monologue replicate a standard audition room with a plain background and pale-colored walls. There shouldn't be any distracting patterns, clocks, posters, or other items hung on the wall behind you. The room should be quiet and have reasonable acoustics. Good/clear audio is key. Try to avoid echoes.

      • Lighting: as long as we can see you clearly and your face is not covered in shadow your video will be accepted.

      • If using a smartphone is your only option, please use it in landscape mode on a solid, non-moving surface, or have a friend hold it while you perform.

      • Monologues must be between 60 and 90 seconds in length. Any longer or shorter and you will be disqualified.

      • From Picture Up to Picture Down your Video's total running time must be between 60 and 90 seconds. Any run time longer or shorter will be disqualified.

 

  • But this year you may choose submit fully produced monologues.

      • With fully produced pieces you are welcome to include special effects, creative editing, a score, and even other characters who speak, as long as your monologue comprises 80% of the dialogue and screen time. Remember you are being judged as an actor not a film maker.
