VIDEO AUDITION REQUIREMENTS

We strongly encourage all to audition in person, as it’s the best way for judges to get to know prospective actors/actresses. Due to travel and financial constraints, KMW Productions recognizes that some people will not be able to audition in person. For INTERNATIONAL AND U.S. RESIDENTS who are unable to audition in person, we welcome a VIDEO SUBMISSION.
Please use the highest quality recording equipment available to you. For best results, place your recording device on a stationary object, such as a tripod or table. Do not tape a close-up; have your entire body (from head to toe) in the frame. Prior to recording, test that you are in focus and well lit, and that your video is free from distracting background noise.

WHAT TO INCLUDE:

  • Start your recording device and state
  • The date you are recording your audition
  • Your full name
  • The city and state where you live

PERFROMANCE REQUIREMENTS:

  • You are required to do a monologue of any kind.
  • You are allowed a maximum audition time of FIVE minutes.

NOTE: IF YOU ARE PERFORMING DIFFERENT MONOLOGUES (IE; COMEDIC, SERIOUS, DRAMATIC, ETC.) PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, YOU ARE ALLOWED A MAXIMUM AUDITION TIME OF FIVE MINUTES.

When you are finished with your audition performance, please announce that you have reached the end of the submission, restate your name, and stop your recording device.
When your video audition is complete, upload it to an UNLISTED YouTube link _(IF YOU DO NOT ALREADY HAVE A YOUTUBE ACCOUNT – SEE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW)_ and email this link
directly to CASTING@KMWPRODUCTIONS.ORG : Your Name & T.G.O.G. Audition Video in the subject line. For example: Jane Doe – TGOG Audition Video:

Unlisted videos

“Making a video unlisted means that only people who have the link to the video can view it. To share an unlisted video, just share the link with the people who you’d like to have access to it, and they’ll then be able to see it. Unlike private videos, the people you share the video with do not need to have a Google account to see the video, and they can share with more people simply by forwarding the link to them.
Unlisted videos won’t appear in any of YouTube’s public spaces, like your channel page or search results.
