For self taping auditions, you'll need a few key pieces of equipment. First and foremost is a camera, such as an iPhone, DSLR or webcam. You'll also need a tripod to hold the camera steady and ensure that your shot is framed correctly. Additionally, you should have some good lighting to make sure your performance reads clearly on camera; natural light from windows works well for this purpose but additional lighting can be used if necessary. Lastly, you may want to invest in an external microphone so that your dialogue can be recorded with crystal clear clarity. With these items at hand you're ready to start nailing those self tape auditions!
