Can You Use a Reader of a Different Gender in a Self Tape?

Ever wonder if using a reader of a different gender could hurt your audition?

You’ll discover:

  • Why casting directors don’t care about your reader’s gender - but something else does matter
  • The one thing your reader should never do when reading lines
  • A simple way to be ready for big auditions, no matter who’s around to help


Hit play now and learn how to keep your acting strong, even with the “wrong” reader behind the camera.
