If they are only asking for slate and a cut from a song, should I look at the camera or slightly to the side (as if there were a reader with me) while I'm singing?
You can slate TO camera yes, but I would NOT sing your song looking into the camera, unless they specifically ask for that. The only time you want to ever look into the camera for taping is when you are speaking directly to casting (so a slate or if they ask you to tell them about yourself, etc.), or if the scene is like, you being a news reporter, or a vlogger or a breaking the 4th wall narrative or something. Everything else I would steer away from ever looking directly into camera, again, unless specifically asked!
I am so happy this came out when it did since I just convinced my parents to let me submit a self-tape for the 13 open call and have no idea how to do it
This was very helpful, thank you! Question: I notice the microphone is kind of far from you. So... that particular model allows you to set it out of camera range and it picks up the sound, almost like a boom mic? Do other mics do that, or that particular model of microphone has something about it (a setting, or it is a particular kind of mic) that allows that?

This is awesome! With the microphone, Did you purchase anything else along with it for the setup?

I see that your mic is plugged into your computer not camera. what program is running to record the audio?
What should you do if you don’t or can’t have a reader ?
I was wondering this too!
