FAQs
Do I need to do my self-tape in one take or can I edit it together?
If you want to film your introduction, monologue and answers to the questions separately then edit them together, you can. You can also do this all-in-one take if you wish. Your editing skills will not affect your audition.
Can I submit more than one audition tape?
You can only send one link to NYT so only one self-tape can be submitted per year. If you have submitted your self-tape, you cannot submit another one. We recommend doing multiple takes and submitting the version you are happy with.
What happens if you cannot view my tape or there is a problem with it?
We will be in touch by email to ask for another version of the tape or to offer some troubleshooting guidance.
